No, don’t worry, a lot of us were so excited to have shirt we jumped in and sewed it up!

I am sorry you are sad Roxy.
If you look at the picture on the pattern packet, the shirt is untucked and only just reaches the waistband, thus the style.

I want to try the v-neck but would love to know how to try the rounded as well. Listening with interest!

Oooh, I didn’t see this thread when it first popped up – lots of great ideas here. I am so over wearing knits!
I actually have a dress nearly finished (from at least a year ago when I was still feeding Audrey) that uses invisible zips down the front seams. I’ll have to hem it and see how they go. It’s a summer dress though, so not much use here at…[Read more]

I think Inder is right!
(But a soft blazer would be most acceptable)
