There were a lot of really fantastic creations made during the button up refashion swap – but i must tell you all – I absolutely got the best one. Sorry everyone else, but Mim seriously outdid herself with this one. I’m pretty sure my SIL would have stolen it from me given half the chance (right Annelise??). Honest, I am just blown away by the beautiful job that Mim did. She is incredibly talented. Not only is the design itself really amazing – but the fit is as well. And let me tell you (apparently i’m telling you a lot of things today hehe) after doing a lot of custom design work, getting a good fit for someone who is miles away and you can’t physically fit in person, is something of a challenge. Actually it’s damned hard – and Mim’s top is perfect. Don’t even get me started on the perfect sewing. I am admittedly ridiculously picky when it comes to how neat sewing should be – and i am so so so impressed with Mim’s quality of work. I highly recommend reading her blog.
Do you think you can handle a few more photos?!? Oh good, because i am so darned in love with this top I feel its imperative to show detail shots hehehee
You know, even though there are darts in the front, i think i may even be able to get away with wearing it backwards too – what do you think? yes? Such a versatile little top. I’ve already worn it with skinny jeans and it was equally amazing styled that way.
Don’t forget – if you want to make one yourself check out the tutorial she posted last week.
Actually, if you guys have a free second today i would love it if you’d take a moment to pop over to Mim’s blog and tell her what a fabulous job she did- that would be so awesome! Clearly I am in love with her work… see how i happy i am? hehe
