Kitsune
I asked J to name this shirt and after some consideration, he said Kitsune. I guess that's because I'm such a stone fox.
This version is exponentially better than the last try at this pattern. Those long sleeves make all the difference in the world! Also, I used floatier fabric and that helped. I had bought some "dupioni" at a shop in Chinatown but it ended up being pretty much unworkably wrinkly and not particularly nice. I was pretty annoyed at getting ripped off, but for this one I decided to embrace the wrinkle and it works. I was worried during construction that it would look too much like a cape from the beauty parlor, but it doesn't. Also, the trick to avoiding the scrub look is to use black fabric. Can you imagine how creepy it would be to see nurses and doctors in black scrubs?
(Two draft snakes in place! I've made three but ran out of rice. Also, two of my windows are inexplicably wider than the other two. Rats!)
