After much stewing and being angry, this shirt finally got finished.  Its a mixed bag.

Pros:

• Everyone always compliments it.
• The pin tucks look nice and allow for a blousy effect.

• The shoulders and body of the shirt fit really well and are very comfortable.

Cons:

• I made the elastic in the cuffs too small, so its not really very comfortable to wear with the sleeves scrunched up.

• I had to hem it twice to get the length right and I’m not sure I love the length yet.
• The collar.. . URGH!  It is completely not right.  Since I had messed with the width of the neck, I didn’t want to just cut the collar stand straight from the pattern.  In my infinite wisdom, I thought, “Eh, I’ll just make it using bias tape.”  Its super wonky and lays all wrong, and I really really should have just laid the neck out and drafted a new collar stand.  I didn’t know how to do that at the time.  I learned how to later and haven’t had the patience to rip it out and re do it. But that is exactly what needs done.
• The placket: I didn’t sew it very well so part of the raw edge sticks out on the front near the hem.  I just zig zagged over it with a short stitch in black thread.  I’m sure no one else would ever notice it.

• I added a lot of width to the sleeves to make them flowy and blousy, and that turned out alright, but I should have added a good 3-4 inches in length.

Most of everything that I don’t like about it was my fault, stemming from inexperience.  I finished this months ago, so thankfully I have moved on and learned from my mistakes.
