it's difficult to see how great this fabric is. It has a slight metallic look to the bronze/tan color. It wasn't too difficult to line up the stripes, although I could have done it a bit better. The shirt is very fitted. I'll probably loosen up the neck on the next one so it dips a bit lower and gives me a little more room in my ribcage. I finished this late last night. Will prob. make one in red.
Tried a version in oatmeal colored knit I had in my stash. It's ok. Will have to wear bright jewlery to brighten up a bit.
