Today's post is one I've been meaning to do for a couple weeks but just got around to getting pictures. This shirt is one I made to wear for my birthday last month. I love making new clothes for special events so of course I had to make something to wear for my 25th birthday.
The fabric I decided to use is one I've have for quite a while and could never decide what to do with it. So finally I told myself to just use it. I love the delicate sheer floral print so I thought it would be perfect with a flowy top. I knew I'd have to wear a cami under it so I picked a design with a deep v-neckline.
The shirt also has a belt made in the same fabric (which is tough to see in the photos), and the sleeves have straps that tie into a bow.

The garments in this pattern are obviously a looser fit. When I went with the size indicated in the back, it ended up being a bit bigger then I had hoped. The tie belt definitely helps to pull it in for a closer fit. But I do want to eventually make the dress so I'll have to keep in mind to make it a smaller size.
