Hubby wore his new shirt to work today! I managed to snap a couple of pix before he left. Mind you, that was at 6:00 a.m. so they're not the greatest. He was so cute though - he went straight to the Grey Wall and stood there! Awww. I've told him he needs to pay attention to the fit and comfort of the shirt throughout the day, so that I can know if I need to make any further adjustments. I do know that for future versions, I'll be making the collar points slightly shorter - we both felt they ended up a little long.
As you can see, he's quite happy with the shirt. :-)
Here it is from the back - I think you can really see here how broad his shoulders are:
And his right shoulder is lower than his left one too, just like me! It's like we were made for each other!!
Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea!
DeleteThis looks great! Hubby does seem very happy with it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Quite a big smile, eh?
DeleteI love how you've done the pleats on the back...do you mind if I steal that for the next shirt I make?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? I stole it from his RTW shirts! ;-)
DeleteWow! We are all very impressed! Wish we could see it in person :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I feel so happy to have achieved what I was going for!
DeleteHow sweet! It must be so fun for you to see him so thrilled with the shirt!
ReplyDeleteWow yes, his shoulders are quite wide in comparison to the rest of him, but you did such a great job with the fit! 6am departure for work... dude is a *trooper.* I totally think the hat makes the outfit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm digging the hat too!
DeleteWow, the fit really looks perfect! Sweet of him to model for you :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a good guy :-) I'm pretty darn lucky!
DeleteLooks awesome on him, especially paired up with that nice sombrero :) I hope his fit feedback goes like this: "It's perfect! The best shirt I ever wore"
ReplyDeleteHehehe - thank you! He already said in the morning that it's more comfy than his RTW shirts - yay!
DeleteThis looks like a Nordstrom buy. It's perfect on him.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm pretty proud of it!
DeleteIt's matches his hat perfectly.
