So, I went and entered the Wardrobe Contest on PR.
4 tops + 3 bottoms + 2 sewer's choice
All in 6 weeks.
This was the last top to complete, and I'm moving onto the skirts! (and jacket...and dress...)
Pattern: Simplicity 2892
Fabric: ivory linen, silk organza for facings
Notions: 1 cute button
Notes:
I think I originally bought this pattern for this shirt, though I am not exactly sure (?)
This is mostly view A, minus the puffed sleeves--I used the sleeve lining as the sleeves, hemmed them at 5/8", and called it good.
The only other comment to add here, I guess, is that I pondered over the facings momentarily. I didn't want them to show through, and I also didn't want to use a bias band and topstitch over those sweet pleats.
(That phrase looks weird.)
Anyway, I had a lightbulb moment, cut my facings out of silk organza, and voila!
I finished the raw edge with a narrow zig-zag, where it only mildly itches at times.
This is also my only departure from the plan so far. I had originally planned this to be a Sewaholic Pendrell blouse (lower right corner of shirts), but decided I just wasn't sure about the sleeves. Same fabric, different pattern.
