OK, here's my entry. It's Vogue 1387 by Rebecca Taylor. I just loved the look of style B, and thought I'd found the perfect fabric in the stash. It's a poly cotton (I think), but the only description on the lable, said 'burnout'.
It should have been a fairly straightforward sew, but as usual, I made a meal of it.
1. The front band/collar stand intersection caused me trouble, as the seams needed to lay in a particular way to go under the front band, and the collar stand. It took quite a bit of manipulation and hand sewing to finish it neatly.
2. The gathering at the back. I knew right away that I didn't want this, so I pleated it, and I like it far better. If I did it again, I would take some fullness out before pleating though - there's a lot of fabric there. I also did a fabric loop to finish off, and I do like how it's turned out.
3. Sleeve placket drove me distracted, and the more I thought about it, the more I was sure I was going to get it wrong - although I've done them many times with no problems. They turned out OK, trouble is, I don't think they suit the shirt, and if I did it again, I wouldn't do that style.
Finally, I ordered white ring snaps, but even after what I thought was careful ordering, they were smaller than the tool I use for fixing. So I used the metal ones, and not sure they work. I think the top snap is too high, and seems to make the bust pull a bit.
I have lovely fabric lined up to make a second one, but not really sure I want the hassle.
