It’s a little rumpled from riding in the car for a couple hours.

I remade the bodice to include darts, redrew the neckline, did a forward shoulder adjustment, and lengthened the sleeves.

Another wonderful, meticulously-crafted creation! Love the pattern, too. I can’t even begin to wrap my head around how you do all the alterations, though.
Pretty! Love the neckline.
What a fun shirt! Your ability to rework a pattern is quite impressive.
That’s so much fun!!!
Your school kids must just love you and your fun shirts! This is awesome!
Those sleeves are great.
Do you have a favorite pattern, yet?
I have about 5 in rotation right now.
What a fun shirt!
I like your modified neckline, i think it looks nicer than the original.
What is a forward shoulder adjustment? Curious because I have that pattern too. Your version looks better than the image advertised!
@gozer With age and hunching from working at a computer, my outer shoulder–where it meets the top of my arm-- has rotated toward the front. Without an adjustment, all of my shirts ride up on the front of my neck and choke me.
For me, I add height to the back yoke near the sleeve, subtract from the front bodice in the same place; and then also shift the “center” point of the sleeve toward the front. My sleeves then hang properly straight down from the point of my shoulder, which is about 5/8" further toward the front than patterns have it.
Wow. That is so technical and sounds so complicated! No wonder your shirts look so amazing on you.
Congratulations! This adorable and wonderful shirt is a FEATURED PROJECT!
