Nara Camicie shirt

I had this shirt by Nara Camicie in my closet for a long time. I decided I should either refashion it so I could wear it or throw it away as it was only taking up space in the closet. So I shortened the sleeves and finished them with elastic. I shortened the shirt (I hope I made it the right length because I can't try it on now because of the baby bump and I was only guessing about the length). And I replaced the golden buttons with some blue ones.

I wanted to remove the fake pocket flaps because they stuck out unflatteringly as they were too wide, but the seams would've left too visible a trace so I left them, I only stitched them down at the corners so they're now nice and flat.

Fantastic work - just changing the buttons makes it so cool and modern. Love the elastic cuffs too.

Thanks, I thought those golden buttons were awful. :)
