I bought this tattoo print cotton last summer in Germany and have been rationing it because i haven’t seen a print as nice since. I love the contrast of the informal material and the more formal style of a button up shirt with a tie.
The body of the shirt is based on the JJ blouse, but i take out a lot of the fullness at the lower back, so that it fits much closer.

Wow! Love everything in this blouse! The print is wonderful and so funny … and sleeves is a feminine touch. Fabulous!

LOL – I just boght the excact same fabric but in black with a JJ-bouse in mind for it! I’ve been in and out of the store for weeks now – just checking if the fabric’s still there, debating with myself wether to buy it or not. I absolutely LOVE your blouse.

I love the mash up of formal tie & collar, frilly sleeve caps and tattoo fabric!

You gave the treasured print a purpose. Fit is impressive. Sailor girl cute!

Love it! I made a blouse out of the same fabric too last year and like you loved the contrast between the print and primness of the blouse’s cut. Prepare for lots of double takes when you’re wearing it!
