New Look 6027

I was trying to get my husband to stop taking pictures of the silly children and take a picture of my new shirt before he left on a week-long business trip (to Vegas, to work for Showtime, filming Manny Pacquiao. cause he's cool like that). Awesome. he caught me scolding him.

I'm sorta smiling, even though it's a blurry pic....

I like the shaping added by the center back seam. I did french seams throughout. I think it's nicer on lightweight (fragile) fabrics like voile and Swiss Dot

of course, D snuck in to MANY of the pictures.

I love flutter sleeves. also love Swiss Dot, the color  red, Anna Maria Horner, and sewing, so this shirt is perfect.

even if my ironing is NOT. oh well, at least the sewing is good. I can always re-iron.

Did you find a problem with too much ease? Im making it (a dummy one out of muslin)before using my good fabric but its just too big/too much ease. I measured my body correctly and cut out sizing according to finished garment size for the ease I prefer but there's still way to much. Im stuck. Your's looks amazing, great job.
