I've been on a TNT TSW trend lately, and this project is the latest. I've made the Now Shirt a couple of times before, but the sleeves always felt a bit floppy to me thanks to my bird-wrists.
You can even see a bit of that in the drawing. The Now Shirt is the one on the right. So this time, I tapered the lower sleeve to refine the fit. I also lengthened the body of the shirt 2". The last one was wearable but the longer length is more versatile.
I used a cotton/rayon blend that I bought from Marcy Tilton at the 2009 ASG Conference in Albuquerque. Practically new, considering the size of my stash!
It's a little rumpled, not as much as it looks in the picture but a bit. Of course, my iron decided to spit something on the front of the shirt when I was touching it up for pictures, so I had to launder it...and I didn't want to risk pressing it before taking a picture.

Love, LOVE that fabric! It's a very pretty shirt.
Pretty shirt!
What a great shirt, especially in the longer length. I think I must buy this pattern. I just finished making my 3rd Zona, but I think I like the Now even better. The collar is very attractive. Thanks for sharing.
The fabric is so pretty. That's one pattern I don't have----yet.
that`s a lovely shirt - I have been looking at Marcy Tilton`s web site - it is so inspiring and looks of useful tutorials etc.
Beautiful blouse(shirt). Love that fabric, and it probably feels like butter.
I love it! Such a chic top and it looks so comfy.
