Another shirt for me, this time RTW copy S&S
After trying to mess with altering the KS pattern, I decided to copy a RTW shirt I know fits well. So, I dug out my favorite Gap v-neck tshirt and traced it. Doing the sleeves was a bit of a leap, since the shape traced was like no sleeve I'd used before. But, I gave it a whirl anyway. I used some knit that I suspect is Baby Nay, found at a Hancock's I scoped out after one of DSs away soccer games.

I'm very, very pleased with the fit! No real gapping above the boobs, nice little sleeves. I even got the tension right on my CS machine! I really like the shirt. However, isn't it bizarre how the flower placed there totally makes my right boob disappear? I keep cracking up at the pic.



For reference, here's how the real Gap shirt fits. I still want raglan tops, so I do need to figure out that fit at some point.



Thanks for looking!

I love that t-shirt. I have a few old gap t-shirts (literally around 10 years old!) that I love the fit of and just can't replace exactly right. I think I'll take a spin at copying them. You've inspired me.

Wow, great copy! I love the color of that fabric. And you're right about the boob--gone! Maybe you put some little applique there? Maybe your initial would look cool--kinda like Laverne's?

bwaahaahhaa ~ I just laughed out loud! How crazy is that? What an interesting optical illusion!!!

Anyway, the shirt is fab! It really looks great on you and I think you did a great job copying it; it's quite a feat to copy things without cutting them up, isn't it? LOL

Now, where's your head?

Great job on the copy, Heather! The shirt looks great on you, too. The fit seems to be *much* better than the one you had the fit issues with!

Beautiful! Glad you finally solved your problem. It took me three times of staring at the pic to figure out what you were talking about.
