Wow I love these! These colors are beautiful! My favorite picture is you touching the tree light :)

Thank you! That's one of my favorites too. I've been going to this location for years now, and only just found out about these lights (which are apparently up year 'round).

OMG! So lovely! And the photos are always so clean and professional looking.

Thank you so much!! I'll pass that along to the photographers =3

So nice! I'm always in awe of people who sew their own blouses, but this one is extra pretty!
Would you recommend that pattern to other people for making similar blouses?
The dress is really great, too! It looks like something Meta would make, except a little better. Sad that you couldn't see the bust detailing in the shoot, but the scarf really pulls it all together ^_^

Oops, I just saw that it was inspired by VM. Well, still looks great.
Is that Simplicity pattern still in print? Because I can't find it on the company's page.

Ah whoops, I have the package from the special display, the normal number for is it 2339 (http://www.simplicity.com/p-5247-misses-miss-petite-shirts.aspx). I'll fix my description.

I would recommend it, but like all simplicity it'll be a little big, so you'll need to tailor it at least a little. (Their bust measurements are crazy numbers, I had to adjust the dart quite a bit, but that was most of the tailoring I had to do).

Thank you so much for your compliments =3
I'm normally one who just buys blouses, but I'm glad I gave these a try.

Any tips on how to add a collar like that?

Thank you very much!
I love this style of JSK, they're easy to make but they look polished and nice when they're done.
