Matchy, Matchy!!

My neighbor for whose daughters I recently made dresses, now has a shirt that will match! She had wanted to make a shirt for herself so I told her I would make her one. She liked the material from her girls' dresses so much she wanted her shirt to match. It was so fun to feel like someone's personal seamstress!! And what's more, to have it turn out so cute! I am really pleased with how her shirt turned out. I added to it a little by giving it the layered look with the dark purple trim around the bottom and sleeves.

It looks much better on her than it does on me, but this is just to give an idea of the shaping of the shirt when worn.
I hope to get a picture of her and her beautiful girls all in their dresses and shirt so you can see them on.
