Description

The fabric was pale blue but that would not have looked good on me, so I changed the colour.
The shirt has pleats in the front and also two pleats at the end of each sleeve. I used snaps instead of buttons and they were the most expensive part of this project.
Dogs don’t seem to like me when I’m wearing this, they start barking when I’m passing even if I’m at the other side of the street. Strange thing. Maybe it’s the colour? … or just the dogs I met today..

    I love your dress! That electric blue color is hot. I think this would look awesome as a dress. What an impeccable job of construction. All the details look perfect! Great project.

    Haha… don’t bother the dogs, the colour is great! :-) These kind of shirts are so comfy, I love them a lot. I guess it was not so easy to sew. The way I see, you have done an excellent job!

      Thanks! I put one of these on a bag some years ago and have been in love with the snaps since then. I was just waiting for the right project to put them on : )
