Notes	I made this shirt for the Holidays. It doesn't show well on the pictures, but the white in the fabric is actually silver, and also the neckline stitch is with silver thread. In the third picture it shows a bit. So it shines more in reality :) The pattern is not difficult, but I had to make some adjustments. Overall it fits a bit tight/small. The lower panel was way too small, I had to add about 15cm of fabric to make it fit. Also the cuffs were very tight, and I even have small wrists. I added a couple of cm's so I could get my hands through. The sleeves were very wide on the other hand, and didn't look good with the tight cuffs. So I took some cm's in there. It fits now, but still it's a bit small/tight. There seems to be no space for a chest, so the pleads are all up at the top instead of covering the whole front ;) So better add some fabric here and there.
