As a base I used the JJ pattern - I already have it fitted to my measurements and use it a basic shirt block. Very handy. I just left the sleeves out and added a long stripe for the pussy bow collar. I wanted to make it puffier but I ran out of fabric...
So next time bigger, better, fitter bow! I hope.
The fabric you may remember is one of my resent purchases. It is a bit transparent cotton batiste, so I made it double layered. I like the effect of the dots coming through a bit displaced - It has a three dimensional quality sometimes.
It is double faced - I sew the front and back together and turn it right side out through the neck opening.
Actually I would have liked it a bit longer too, but again there was not enough fabric - it just all went into the doublesideness of the thing.
A funny backstage fact: The pant I've sewn like 7 years ago (notice the rivets, something you do with with 20. Although I still kind of like them...). It was a time when I was larger and now they were mostly too wide to wear. I found them while packing for Berlin and I am wearing them around the house now. They are still wide but somehow not as wide I remember them. Guess I've put some weight on...
