LorenaB and Amy Jeanne, what LOVELY summertime frocks! Oh my gosh, I need to make a summer dress today....it's decided!

The very top above the bust is HUGE, though. I also wish my buttons were whiter, but I found them in the drawers of my grandmother's 1938 Kenmore in what looked to be a 1950s cookie tin. So possible vintage buttons!!

I cant stop thinking in Carmen Miranda each time i look at it lol
As i got some fabric left i might go for the shorts but, i think, i am sorted with Hawaiian or tropical styles for a whilelol
CherryRed said:Amy Jeanne, did you do all the boning in this? I have this on my to make list in a plaid floral polished cotton.
It goes up to a XXL, 52 chest, but I think it's a bit bigger than RTW. DH wears L in DaVinci shirts and I think I could have made the medium.Inky said:i LOVE that kamikat! my hubby wears those shirts and he's TALL and BIG so making them for him has long been a thought - thanks for the heads on the pattern!
it looks great and I bet your hubby will love it!

My husband is trim (not thin, not chunky) and is a bit OCD about keeping his clothes in good shape, but he runs hot and his office has poorly working AC. Those RTW shirts are all polyester. I hope the cotton will keep him more comfortable.Inky said:That's perfect. And my local fabric haunt carries those patterns. i have to go this weekend so I'll look for it. those RTW shirts are so over priced and I don't know about your hubby, but mine is tough on his clothes and it's so hard to find vintage or even vintage repro's in his size/height.
