Project:: 20 years late for 7th Grade Home Ec

I know this is a cool pattern. All the sewing crafty cool Moms are making this shirt for themselves- the ones that aren't currently nursing are making it as a dress, too. Look! See how cute and cool it is?
I stayed up way too late last night making this exact shirt, in a cute (bargain bin!) navy and white mini-check cotton poplin. Everything seemed so easy, so fast and simple. I envisioned a closet full of this shirt, in dozens of cute prints and thrifted fabrics. Oh! And then I finished, and tried it on. Oh. Maybe I should have taken 7th grade home ec instead of Spanish and band....
