Not everything goes according to plan. It may start well. You think you've paired the right fabric with the right pattern, even if it isn't quite your normal style. The pattern is in another language, but you still manage to follow along. The pieces all fit together. The edges finish nicely. You even sew all the buttonholes without a hitch.
Then you stand back and shake your head. You realize that you've made something that looks like an Australian school uniform. Not the sort of victory I was hoping for.
I'm not getting a uniform vibe (if it was gingham I would). I am getting a vintage fee though - maybe a belt and some low-heel knee high boots? There are plenty of vintage shirt dresses on Pinterest, I reckon you can save this one!
ReplyDeleteOh I think it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love this style, but I worry that if I make one it will look like a lab coat on me.
ReplyDeletepockets with trim tho? and a belt and boots. sometimes things look different on.
DeleteI see what you mean and it's just the size of the print. The fabric would be lovely in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would wear it over jeans & boots (or DMs) and dress it up with a nice cardi or shawl. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteMake it shorter--like a tunic, change the buttons, wear with colourful tights and a big honing necklace.
