It looks as though you left it long enough to wear it over leggings or slim cut pants of some sort? I love your blog and am happy to see you here....

I want to say that the shirt looks very nice. But since you mentioned fit, I see a number or areas. I agree slim pants would help a LOT. Also how big it is depends on what you ere hoping for. The sleeves are a little long and baggy, that is part of the problem. It is clearly too big across the back at the arms. And in the front is doesn't look like the shoulders fit well. I suspect you did not choose the right size pattern. It is important for many of us to choose a pattern to fit our shoulders rather than our bust. Once I learned this, things started to fit and look better. However I must always make a full bust alteration, which is easier that redrawing the sholders and armholes. Here is some thing that mivht help. http://www.nancyzieman.com/blog/sewing-general/sewing-and-quilting-questions-answers%E2%80%94choosing-the-right-sewing-pattern-size/KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651906849473851191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031068980840536757.post-42727430193672490082017-11-02T08:14:18.987-04:002017-11-02T08:14:18.987-04:00I didn't even notice the pleats until you ment...I didn't even notice the pleats until you mentioned it. As with quilting, finished is better than perfect. I think it looks great and you should be proud of your work. I love the fabric. And all the fabric at Fabric Mart!Franshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701509937148237703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031068980840536757.post-23240217317513188522017-11-01T09:38:35.315-04:002017-11-01T09:38:35.315-04:00Cute shirt, Meg, and don't sweat the imperfect...Cute shirt, Meg, and don't sweat the imperfect pleats. I do agree, however, that slimmer pants would be more flattering. I so enjoy your blog.sewingkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747001697655177474noreply@blogger.com
