So, I decided to make up as many as I could, staring with this Japanese cotton from Marcy's website
It fits ok, but I'm not crazy about the fabric, a cotton that really is limp after laundering. I used just the collar stand and didn't put a pocket in, but did nothing else to a medium size.
It has a weird stuck-on peplum like piece, but I love this pattern. Currently making it again in a Mood patterned navy linen print. Soft pleated collar is a real design feature.
Also a favorite pattern I'll make again soon in a Japanese cotton that's firmer is this pattern
My next to the last post had this featured over the "killer green" linen knit dress. The design feature here is the side "not a pocket"
Thank you for this post. It's so helpful to see them all together! I like them all!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Gayle. I was surprised at how unique and detailed each was without making the pattern too hard!
DeleteThey all look great and very different. I need to get busy!
