Marfy 1659 Finally!

I am finally done with the shirt.

Even though I really don't like the picture, I posted the review anyway.


It look perfect with my Regan necklace, which I got more compliments on than the shirt! It really does look fabulous, I can't thank you enough.


Anyway, on to whats next.


I am off to trace more BWOF's. I am loving the skirts, esp. the bubble skirts, I could actually wear one here. I was thinking about this pattern in dark silk jersey from EOS:

Or would that look too aging cougar? I refuse to wear clothes that have "denial" written all over them.

I had such high hopes for v8280

I don't hate it, I think that I can make it work.

I am just disapointed, I had really high hopes for this pattern.

The pattern photograph of the view I am working on is the one on the right, and 26 rave reviews on http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/reviewgallery.pl

Pattern Review can't be wrong, can they?

That centerfront dart helps, and making the shoulders more square helped too. I just can't figure out how to fix those shoulders! Once I get that worked out I will see how the sleeves look.

Do you think maybe lowering the arm hole will help?

It looks like the back neck fits OK, maybe I just need to make the 'flanges' wider by ....

I don't know, I am tired of thinking about it.

Any suggestions?
