Top one - my camp shirt: plain and simple - but that's just the way I like it sometimes, plain and simple.

Top Two: Of course I did a switch-a-roo from my original plan in making this top. This is Vogue 8797, view A.
I chickened out on the color blocking idea but instead added pocket flaps. I give you three different views.
Super start.The white shirt is classic and will look fantastic with any accessories,plus you can dress it up or down.
ReplyDeleteI adore the fabric in the first shirt. The colours and print are really lovely. As soon as I saw the second shirt (and before I read how you planned to style it) I could see you in a nice pair of slim fit white jeans and a pair of flat sandals with perhaps some jewels or ruffles on the vamp. I'd even consider turning the collar up in the back for that 50's look. I haven't received an invire for Starting at the top yet - would you mind resending? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are off with a bang! Wish I could join but I have no sewing time right now, boo.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the fabric. It's pretty. I need to follow your lead and make a few shirt too. Nicely made.
ReplyDeleteI think the way you plan to style this will look great.
ReplyDeleteAs my Southern Momma used to say, "Ladies don't sweat. They perspire." LOL!
Those are both terrific tops. I like the "mans" type shirt. You could put a belt on it and it would be very chic.
ReplyDelete"Chickening out" - don't you hate when that happens? Then I spend time wondering what the project would have looked like had I not chickened out...for me, it's a vicious cycle. I like both of these tops. I don't think the second one looks like a man's top at all, even if it did...I'd wear it. What a great challenge by the way.
