\"\"I never, ever wear any shirt. I’ve owned some of course, but I never got to wear them on a daily basis. It’s mostly due to my morphology: no body will ever fit ready-to-wear standards perfectly, and mine is no exception. Every shirt I’ve ever tried was too large in the back and at the shoulders and had a slight gap at the bust: not really up to my taste – in fact, for a long time, I had been telling myself that I wasn’t built to wear shirts<\/em>, period. <\/p>\n

\"\"Yet, at the top of Me-made-may<\/a>\u00a0podium, there was this little thing! This winner, both very comfy and rather nicely fitting, has been used several times.\u00a0Like my coat and my two shirtdresses, it’s a technical milestone for me: although it’s officially a blouse, it’s my first “shirt-like” garment, with a collar, collar stand, cuffs, French seams and such.<\/p>\n

\"\"I don’t want to sound like I’m too happy about it, however: I’m super proud of my plaid matching<\/a> and my collar stand<\/a>, of course, but my topstitching could be better, my buttons don’t all match together, and since the pattern only offered three quarter length sleeves and I wanted long ones, I decided to lenghten them. Well, that was a bad idea: they’re not only too long, they’re puffy! That’s the reason why I usually roll up the sleeves like I did on\u00a0the pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"Since I wasn’t too sure about my skills, I used a fabric I wouldn’t mind missing too much: I liked its texture and light weight (it’s a kind of veil), but I feared such a bright color\/strong pattern wouldn’t be too flattering against my face (still not sure about that). But now I don’t care anymore and\u00a0love this shirt no matter what : its bright pink always gets me in a good mood, and the bold pattern drives attention to my face. I also like its faux geek, lumberjack\/hipster Barbie side, very different from what I’m used to wear. Plus, you know: it’s the first shirt that actually fits me and that passed the test of me-made-may. Who could ask for anything more?<\/p>\n
