Notes A wearable muslin for some very special linen fabric.
Cotton gingham with white buttons.

I like the separate collar and stand.

Made and posted to my daughter.

She didn't like the way the hem kicked out (she has a small waist but full hips so I guess that is why that happened)
She doesn't like the all in one sleeve either. She thinks she will probably wear it as a pj top so I will make her matching shorts.

I think it could be quite nice in a drapey jersey or a crepe de chine.

    Thank you JDT, I have a wee bamboo collar point tool, it is gentler than a knitting needle to poke.

    Merci Desiree, elle l’a porté sur les nageurs!

    Thank you Maria, she is a bit tricky to pin down on what she wants. I think I will just make a standard button up shirt. With matching shorts, it will make cute pjs.

    Thank you Jane, I just KNEW she wasn't going to like it but I don't like UFO's. I have not seen it on, far too busy for a photo (eye-roll) the collar is lovely!

    Guta, thank you!
    I added side vents as she likes to tie them but I could trim it off. I wanted her to try it first.
    Ah well, not the first rejected garment which is why I muslined before cutting the good stuff.
    Гута, спасибо!
    Я добавил боковые вентиляционные отверстия, так как она любит их завязывать, но я мог бы обрезать их. Я хотел, чтобы она сначала попробовала.
    , ну, не первая отвергнутая одежда, поэтому я муслин перед тем, как разрезать хорошие вещи.

    This looks great on the hangar, what a pity Zara didn’t find it so good to wear. I like the way the adjoined sleeves finish up on the bias - your gingham fabric shoes this off really effectively.
    An excellent plan to make into pyjamas, much better than just hanging in the wardrobe!

    Even though your daughter was seemingly less than thrilled with it, it looks like a very well made garment. Nice job!!

    Смотритмя очень не плохо. Можно добавить выточки и приталить по бокам. Мне нравится!
