Lots of flowers

For a trip we took this spring I wanted a shirt for the girl that would:

1. Be cool.
2. Cover her from the sun.
3. Not show wrinkles.
4. Not show dirt (or chocolate ice cream).
5. Be able to be rinsed out in a hotel sink.
6. Match lots of pants & skirts.

Here it is:


It's a Liberty print (I think called Mauvey) based on the Children's Corner pattern Ainsley. It has a square, faced neckline that's lower in front than back, long sleeves & two buttons up the back. I redrafted the neckline to make it more of a right angle and omitted the waistband. I love this kind of loose top for coolness -- and, indeed, even when I *knew* it was dirty, it never looked it.
