Yay or nay?






























Ok, let me preface this post with several statements.

1. This is the first item of clothing I've made myself other than some pj pants a long time ago.
2. I used $5/yard fabric from Walmart, not exactly the highest in quality.
3. I used a pattern intended for children who have no boobies, tummy, or ass.
4. Looking at these pics, I realize I need a good pair of Spanx.
5. Bella took some of the pics, thus the weird angle. Also, I'm sure it added 20 pounds:)

Ok, all that being said, what do you think? I took the same pattern I used for Bella's dress in the post below and tried to make myself a fancy shirt for hubby's work holiday party. Here's what I don't like...the fabric, kind of bunchy around my tummy, possibly making me look pregnant. Here's what I do like...I made it and it was cheap.

Ok, now leave me your harshest comments. I can take it. I haven't clipped all of the loose threads yet or adjusted the hem. Ugly? Makes me look too fat? I do have a back up so it's not like I'll go into freak out mode if you all say no, no, no.

I think it is adorable . . . but you look a little cold to me! Maybe that is b/c I am wearing a super thick sweater right now and STILL freezing! I say wear it! Love it! Wish I could sew! Hee . .

I like it too! But maybe paired with a nice skirt? I am not sure I like it with the pants.

Ok, I'm not going to wear it. I decided it takes way too much effort to keep it from bunching up and really isn't flattering. I'm actually way hotter than that in person:) That's a joke, but seriously, I think it makes me look worse/bigger than I actually am. I just really thought it would be fun to wear something I made but I don't think it's going to work out. Thanks for the feedback though!

awww, Kelci! ;) I'm sure it looks great in person. Either way, it's a very cute top!
