Story about the shirt: I can't remember exactly when I got this shirt, but pretty sure it came with the flower jumper in my previous post. Reasons made me bring it home are the same as the jumpers: on sale and made of silk. As an Aisan, I have picky taste about materials: I am fond of natural fabrics such as silk and cotton. I don't really like the design, but the feel of the fabric convinced me to pay for it.
Later on, I realize I will never look good in this bright green color, and it is hard to match the shirt with any other pieces of clothes in my closet. So, here you go. I have confidence in B and I think she will look 100 times better than me in this shirt.
Story about the ribbon:
I got this at Hobby Lobby, one of my favorite craft stores. That day all ribbons are on 50%off, so you can imagine I was like a real shopaholic-I grabbed almost every roll... Then I calmed down and remembered we had a weight limit to travel back to Singapore... Okay, I picked several and asked the husband's opinion. Of course, he gave the typical guy answer: get them all!
Okay, so I stayed at a corner and weight every single roll in my heart, gee it is a hard thing...and finally I bought 4, and this was one of them.
However, I never really get to use this pattern after a while. I feel like the material is not very easy to handle and I am also not creative enough to make any miracle out of it... Until today, when I almost finished the dress and began to put some ribbons on it, I finally understand this is its destiny.
Long story short, this shirt-dress gown took me about 2 hours, so easy to do, and so happy to see another piece of useless item become something amazing.
