I am using my TNT Lutterloh blouse pattern.
I am using a high-quality very lightweight chambray.
The back has this lovely crocheted lace insert. I have cut the fabric away from the circular area
It is really a WOW! shirt back.
But the front is dullsville.
I appliqued a pierce of the lace on the pocket, sewed it on and hated it.
It looked like a Realtor from Texas cowgirl top. Just need my hat boots and bling.
I removed the pocket. but pinned here:
I was going to add another insert in front like a yoke but two things stopped me
1. I could not find the other insert anywhere in the house
2. Talk about cowgirl
So, what to do?
Make bigger pockets with a top flap to add interest?
Make the collar a contrast maybe some of the lace?
Use wild buttons?
Let the back be the surprise and the front blah?
I do not like western wear. I do honor the cowgirls that opened the door for women in rodeos. And I have visited the Cowgirl Museum in Ft Worth, TX and loved it.
Just not a look for me, ever.
