Wow, I love it! The bow is such a charming touch. Super cute…hmmm, Hubby has a couple of shirts he rarely wears. I doubt he will miss them. *sneaks into closet*

I think this is lovely! I think there may be a trip to the local thrift shop for men’s shirts in my future.

So perfect. I love the clever way you brought it in on the sides! And the sleeves and bow tie are so lovely.
