Flounces, flounces, and more flounces! I made this shirt for my mom just in time for Mother's Day today. The fabric and zipper came from an old skirt that my mom had made years ago and no longer ever wore. She still loves the fabric pattern so she never got rid of the skirt. Now she can finally wear the fabric again but in a totally different form.
My original design included only the five flounces along the front portion of the shirt with just a simple, plain neckline. Unfortunately I didn't do a great job lining up the flounces evenly along the neckline and the lack of symmetry really irritated me. In the end I had to mask the error by adding a ruffle for some more detail. I think it turned out pretty well overall and more importantly, the fit was just right. My mom tried it on just before we headed out to High Park to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom and it was a very good fit.
