With a two piece collar, placket, sleeve tabs, cuffs, etc., the Mila Shirt is not exactly a quick sew but it is a satisfying one. I love the two that I've made so much that I think they might push my (multiple) Tovas out of top spot for my "uniform" of choice. With the gathers at the front and the pleat at the back, the Mila definately trumps the Tova in comfort. Of course, having the different cup sizes included in the pattern helps, too. I've never done an FBA but I should really learn how. Or I can just use patterns that are drafted for a D cup :)
I made this one out of a navy linen-rayon blend. Which proved really hard to photograph, it's not shiny in real life, I promise!
I had to cut my head off this one, I don't know what I was doing with my face!
I will likely usually wear this with the sleeves rolled up but I did add 1 1/2" to the length sleeves to account for my monkey arms in case I want to wear them down.
