Don't you own an iron?

 

Vogue's photo not mine

Oh c'mon, this is VOGUE for goshsakes

I promised myself I would not do this again, but I have been seeing more and more of this 'handy hands at home' finishing on pattern photos, and WHY

WHY do you think this is going to sell your pattern to me?

If YOU can't finish it nicely, WHO can?

Misses' pants, high waisted, very loose-fitting through hip, have waist facings with boning, pleats, side seam pockets, invisible back zipper. B: hem band.

I have never pretended to be any more than handy homemades. I tend to rush at the end and skip nice finishing, at least for myself. I can do a super nice job if someone hands me money.

For myself, not so much.

This does not make me think I am going to be able to get better results than they did. Or if that hem and the stuff going on at the top of the waistband is intentional, well... that's a choice.

This Shirt Is My New Obsession: Christine Wada is a genius

 

I am clearly losing my touch if I missed this last week.

To my credit, I am watching this show on a teeny laptop in my basement

(which has been a balm and a blessing during our heat wave)

not in the promo art

So we gotta take this one apart because I WANNNNNNNTTTTTT

I am trying to find photos of the back of this shirt. Pretty sure I am going to have to make my own screen grabs of this. 

But I did find this, which proves how AMAZING the costuming is on this show

Also pretty sure after an hour of sketching that I am going to have to drape this to see how to make that one seamless piece and which way the bias is running on it to get it to drape that nicely. That's a woven shirting fabric.

This post will be continued. Any ideas or suggestions, lemme know in the comments. If you know anyone with any intelligence on this shirt PLEASE pass my query along.
