I really, really, really like the Style Arc Lauren Boyfriend shirt
From the website
DESCRIPTION
This boyfriend style shirt is a wearable example of the new trend in shirts. Sleeve interest is such an important part of the current trends and this shirt has a longer than usual cuff with the buttoning at the front. Roll the sleeves up to give an easy, casual look, great over jeans or a pair of slouchy pants. The men's style shirt tails makes this a perfect over shirt.
When I cut those, I cut another from navy/white dotty linen/cotton remnant that I purchased from Spotlight. I had not needed it so didn't sew it.
I sewed it in 2019 and wore it and wore it. When I made it I ended up taking in a quite a bit from the side seams so I was hopeful, even with a good 10kg weight gain I could still use the pattern.
The fabric is a stretchy pale pink denim that I purchased from the Lincraft sales. It is so pretty. I topstitched with heavy, copper coloured jeans thread.Look, it fits, It is quite comfortable but much the same as the shirt, when I sew it again I will size up.I do like it though and as my weight fluctuates, I will just leave it in the wardrobe at Bosuns.
Also, I tend to wear trackies and tees most of the time, at the beach. The smart clothes are just if we go into Town and I change when we get back.
The second outfit, dungarees and a puff sleeve tee were a lot more successful and I hope to share those soon.
Thank you for reading... xx Nicole
