Guess what, that wearable muslin turned out pretty good. Dare I say it gets the upgrade to finished object?
The fit on the front of the shirt is perfect, enough ease for comfort but not to much.
On the back I probably need a bigger sway back alteration. Though the pleat is messing up my assement since that's not a design feature I use on my own shirt block.
And the pockets! Usually pockets and my boobs do not mix (mini pockets are the devils work) but these are fantastic. I feel like people will look at the shirt and say, "Cool that has pockets," instead of, "What's going on with your boobs?"
Also angled sleeve cuffs = perfect shirt
My love for Jen's designs just grows and grows. Full flickr set
here if you like non modeled detail shoots of collars and cuffs. A detailed post about my final fitting changes is almost done, so stay tuned for that. There are still plans to make a silk Archer, but I'll do that with the
official sew-a-long. That way I have a couple of days to stare at the giant pile of silks....too many lovelies to choose from.
