Not everything I do is successful and it’s time I shared some of my meh with you, shirt, skirt and photography – all fit that category. 
See, even my expression is MEH! The skirt just gives me massive hips that I don’t have in real life. There is A line, then there is, no this isn’t working.
I wasn’t happy with the shirt from the get go, but I kept on going. I could either go up a size, or make the side darts smaller, or find a pattern with princess seams. Also, my fabric choice -not good. I guess if I had made it all with the pink stripe it would hang better. I bought the pink at Michael Levine Loft, not even sure it’s cotton, but it only cost maybe a dollar. It is too sleazy (yes that is a garment industry term), as in too see through. The other two fabrics are from my stash, the print is quilting weight, which doesn’t work too well with the others..
Bad fit! look at the creases in the back.
Bad photography, I had just finished the shirt and had to leave 10 minutes latter, I just grabbed the camera and the tripod. It’s ok, the whole thing isn’t great, so it’s appropriate that the photos aren’t either.
So there you have it, sewing mishaps. Not quite fails, but not successes either. In other words – Meh.

Would you ever wear the pieces with different things? That might change your opinion on them. I think the outfit is quite cute and really like the cuffs and pockets on the shirt!
Yes, of course I would, even probably just tucking the shirt in would make a difference. I’d probably make the shirt again and eliminate some of the darts. I also don’t like that I have to wear something under the shirt cuz it’s so see-through. But I can always consider it a muslin – since I didn’t spend much on the fabric.
