Oh my gosh, do I like these shirts! I love the color, I love the tiny ruffle variation and I love how quickly they came together. I hoping that the dresses will come together quickly too, since I spent a lot of time fitting the shirts.
I especially love how the back is fitted. It’s not something I feel like I see a lot in shirts.
Are there things I would improve on, given my druthers? Yep. The top of the back is a bit too poofy and I probably could have given the bust another half inch or so. Also, the tiny ruffles like to roll and expose the bias binding, perhaps because I over stay-stitched the neckline, perhaps because it’s just too much bulk. The sleeves are weirdly puffy and I clearly have a ways to go in the setting-in-sleeves skill. But overall? Very happy.

You look so cute in this shirt! You picked a great pattern for your body, and a great color too. And, of course, you did a good job putting it all together!
The color is amazing! I love the back fitting as well. That IS very rare in women's shirts. I am also glad that you felt like the shirt making process was fast!
