It is perfect for color-blocking. I was so glad to find this shirt in a commercial pattern. I bought a rtw shirt exactly like it, 15-20 years ago, and took the shirt apart at the seams to use it as a pattern, when it got too old and stained to wear. The Sienna blouse pattern pieces are easier to use, thank goodness. And because most of the pattern pieces are narrow, you can eke it out of mere scraps. Have even lengthened the sleeves and added plackets and cuffs, in a corduroy version. Have also made the Cortona a couple of times. Lost enough weight recently that neither version fits anymore; which is a perfect excuse to schedule a trip to look for fabric. Excuse me while look for my car keys.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201009126846898608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284332651721553766.post-79343810569445493602016-07-29T16:30:04.204-07:002016-07-29T16:30:04.204-07:00oh, this turned out very nice.

But yours is perfection on you and the fabric is rich and cool looking.
