One of my favorite parts of sewing is putting together the perfect combination of pattern, fabrics, trims, buttons/snaps, etc. The #1940sRodeoGalShirt by #DecadesOfStyle is perfect for that! This is my third time making it and I’ll definitely make more. I do think they’ve gotten a little tight in the bust so maybe I should size up next time. I’m wearing it here with the #LeslieSkirt by @wearinghistory which is one of my favorite skirt patterns. Made in guava linen from #WeAreTheFabricStore, #JenHewett for #RubyStarSociety quilting cotton, green piping and pearl snaps, and buttons from #BritexFabrics. I love these pieces separately but I’m actually not sure I’d pair them together again - what do you think?
