It's too bad this didn't turn out the way you expected. I find that I size down for Kwik Sew patterns because they usually have more ease than I want. My measurements are exactly the size Medium, but I almost always sew a size Small. I really like your fabric.

All is not lost, though. It will find a new, wearable home when I donate it to the thrift store this week. They really have a need for larger sized clothing and shoes.

After all that work, sorry you can't wear this. Thanks for reminding us that charity donation is an option if what we create turns out wearable, but not for us or whomever we sewed it for!

It was interesting to read your review - I've been struggling with this pattern for a few weeks, trying to get it to fit me better. After three tries I'm still not satisfied... Too bad you weren't either!

That neckline is becoming. Glad you were able to get some use of the pattern you started out with. What makes the Talbot shirt fit so well?

Catherine, I have no idea! Maybe it is the way the armhole is drafted? It fits higher or it is the curve. I've refined it along the way, curved in for the waist, finish the neckline with bias instead of turning under, etc. I guess that would make it worth even more $$$! :)

Sorry you had so much trouble with this pattern. I have it also so I am interested in your comments. I still like the style a lot so will approach it with caution! FWIW, it think it looks fine - just different than you expected, maybe.

The shirt actually turned out OK, and was tried on by a fellow ASG member at a Neighborhood Group meeting. She looked terrific in it, and she's petite. Maybe this style is better suited for them? She liked it oversized, which it was on her. The pattern went home with her, after I traced off the neckline. A happy ending for all!

Oooh, what a pretty blue fabric! I like it!
