sleepnoises:

the front panels of a button up shirt cut out of embroidered floral tulle and overlapped such that the embroidery pattern is continuousALT
the halves no longer overlapped so that the individual button bands are visibleALT
the back of a button band; the front is a pale pink that shows through the tulle, but the back is multicolored small floral printALT

due to factors such as “time pressure” and “tulle is of the devil” my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

The back piece of a shirt made from floral tulle. The yoke (fitted part around neck and shoulders) has five panels, the seams of which are very visible because the tulle is layered multiple times.ALT
A collar, not attached to a shirt. It has cut out bits of the tulle with embroidered leaves on them stuck to it.ALT
Close photo of the collar, fake-attached to a shirt on a person, held on with a pinch to the front. The person is also wearing a green blazer.ALT

progress on this includes:

  • attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it’s not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment
  • attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)
  • constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it
  • started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can’t visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

Tulle shirt with floral embroidery hanging backlit in a windowALT

Shirt’s done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend’s fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!
