Just slightly wrong
There’s something just slightly wrong about this pattern, and I’m pretty sure it’s the buttons.
The bodice, with the little mandarin collar and the fluttery short sleeves, is just great. The right-side pocket is nice, too. but then your eye hits those buttons, and it’s all over.
It might just be me, though — I hate buttons on skirts. They always (at least on me) show strain, get odd wrinkles around them, and are uneasy to sit on. Not to mention drawing the eye down and away.
If you want this pattern (B30), click on the link, and be prepared to wait for it to be shipped from Australia …
