I love boat necks and that color is so flattering! <br />I saw somewhere another person had a great fix for the bra problem on boat neck tees...just sew in a little triangle of fabric at the edge of each end of the "boat" (hemmed at the neck edge, of course) to cover the straps without changing the cut of the neckline.

It has it’s limits but fair enough for the price! Jersey is so expensive to buy as fabric in the UK and cheap jersey is hopeless-holes and faults- so this is one solution. I’ve worn it a few times. It is comfortable. It doesn’t have the breathability of cotton but it lies very flat. I’ll have to see with pilling over time! So many bloggers buy Scuba and Ponte knit fabrics which are usually 100% manmade even if they are good quality and I just can’t cope with those fabrics on my skin even if they sew up well!verykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-64447377811922348862015-10-27T13:19:12.480+00:002015-10-27T13:19:12.480+00:00I'm a bit of a fabric snob too, when it comes ...I'm a bit of a fabric snob too, when it comes to jersey, so it's good to her your experience as GC have some great prints.

I'm so pleased to hear of your fabric snobbery confession - me too! I always try to avoid polyester, at least more than 20% ish if I really like the fabric, but I'd be interested to hear in the future how this top shapes up. Will it feel comfy, twist, misshape or pill? I suppose it's partly a question of cost, but if you take the time to choose and order fabric and make something up you want it to last.
