Gee, thanks Mom....

Eight hour jet lag, a garden in serious need of repair due to heavy wind damage over the weeks we were away, a pile of laundry up to my knees and this, er, interesting item from Mom.





Which should I deal with this afternoon? If you said the blouse, you darn well better send me some ideas since I have NO CLUE. It is very silky polyester of a decent weight, size 16 (I wear a 12 in most shirts) and closes at the back with but a simple button and loop. A resulting practical garment is generally my first choice in a refashion, but something OTT just for the fun of it would float my boat given my current state of mind.

How about making it into a sleveless tank top with a kind of fifties look to it? You may need to add darts and take it in. Plus bow brooch?

I also think sleeveless is a good idea. With the fabric it would be a more dressy top, but the lack of sleeves wouldn't make the print overwhelming the way it kindof is right now.

If you were in the mood to make a black cropped jacket, this would make a cute lining.
