FreyaStark said... A great shirt, and the standard of your work is most impressive. 5/6/12 6:09 PM
Living Beauty said... Beautiful shirt! You look fabulous! (I personally know that fabric...I saw at an expo in Cincinnati, Oh!). So sad I didn't follow my first mind and pick it up also! 5/6/12 6:31 PM
Barbara V said... Your shirt looks great on you. All of your changes turned out nicely and thank goodness for the placket miracle. 5/6/12 7:30 PM

Annette1 said... Oh, my, GORGEOUS! THANKS for the GREAT review. I really like the center back pleat with the little loop, the pockets, the collar -- just everything about it. :o) I have this pattern, too, and now I'm inspired to dig it out of the pile. :o) 5/6/12 8:47 PM
marec said... Your shirt is above and beyond in terms of fastidious attention to detail. It is fantastic! Looks wonderful on you, and your changes are perfect. 5/6/12 9:44 PM
DorothyK said... This shirt is stunning. It looks fabulous on you. I love all your personal touches - the chevron in the back, the collar band, the flat-felled seams, etc. You do such beautiful work. 5/6/12 10:12 PM
GoodbyeValntino said... The shirt is just beautiful! I like the mandarin collar too. What expo in Atlanta are you referring to? 5/7/12 7:06 AM
Karine said... Beautiful shirt! It looks wonderful on you - great fit. I love all of the little details. 5/7/12 3:15 PM
blue mooney said... I love all the extra little details - the prairie point and matching hip gussets, chevroning, and good to know that the shirt looks great with a narrower sleeve! Beautiful shirt. 5/9/12 2:45 PM
Cultured Purl said... Fantastic work!! Tthe blouse looks very well made and it fits perfectly, what a nice pattern to have on hand to make more of them( if were you I certainly would as it looks really classy) I am looking at this pattern myself but mulling it over b/c it says it was oversized but yours looks like the fit I am looking for~ so, I guess I will add this one to my " must get" list, and I have heard the instructions are worth having for learning anyway! 5/10/12 4:33 PM
velosewer said... Wow. You really made this shirt and the fabric stripes work on you. Getting the fit right at the shoulders is really important and I agree that once you get that right, the fit at the hip area is easier to achieve. 5/21/12 11:00 PM
KathleenS said... This is certainly a classic use of a natural fibre! Very nice workmanship. It's great you managed to save the sleeves. I'll look out for the pattern. 5/22/12 8:11 AM
