Guess what. I couldn't find a thing to buy. It's the story of my life. I liked this blouse, but I thought the neckline was too low (not too mention the price being too high!).
So. . .
I made my first ever Anthropologie copy.
What do you say, shall we have a giveaway? Let's.
I will sew the winner their very own Anthropologie-esque blouse.
Please note: the pattern I made is for a size 0-2 shirt.
Earn one entry by commenting on this post. Earn an extra entry by creating a link to this post on your blog. The giveaway will close Saturday night at midnight pst. I will announce the winner Monday morning.
Ready, go!

I'm not a size 0-2, but I do think you are incredible. What a good feeling to be able to create something like that!
ReplyDeleteCute Stephanie! I'm not entering either cause there is no way these girls will fit in a 0-2 but I will let people know on my blog!
ReplyDeleteso cute! you are very talented!!! good job!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd love that shirt! Very cute, I am amazed.
ReplyDeleteOo-da-lolly! Love it.
ReplyDeletePerfect size, perfect shirt! Am crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeletelike many others, there is no WAY i am a 0-2....any chance of making the needed alterations in the pattern for a size 8? if anyone can do it, you can!
ReplyDeleteI am not a 0-2, but you rock! What an incredible talent to be able to see something you like and then recreate it at home - WITH your own touches as well. You are quite the seamstress! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect after baby shirt for me!!! Don't you think? However, when I win, can I have it without the bow...don't need to draw more attention to the baby feeders! Wait, with them I might not fit in a 0-2 size shirt for a while.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!! I would love to win!
ReplyDeleteOh please. Pick me! Love that.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I think it would be great post-baby (and I'll be post-baby in about 3 months). You have got serious sewing skills.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I would need a 4/6, though. Kristi
ReplyDeleteI love it. I'm the right size too!:)
ReplyDeleteOh how cute, yes please!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my, that's gorgeous! just came across your blog, love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a very good copy to boot! I'd love to hang it in my closet. It will give me something to look forward to wearing once this new baby is here.
ReplyDeletei am not quite sure how i came across your blog, but i found it last week. you have such awesome sewing skills. plus the food you make looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI might be able to find someone that is 0-2.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you do a plus size version. I will be all over that!
oh my gosh, steph, how do you do that!? love it.
ReplyDeletewow- what a great top!! i love it. thanks for the awesome giveaway!!

ReplyDeleteI found your blog I think through Clover Lane? It's been a while since, so I can't really remember... Anyhow, I love it! You are a talented lady! I'd be honored to win something you've created! Jsmacleod@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented! Love the shirt and the color. Plus it would fit after I have this baby next month!
ReplyDeleteIt's super cute. Count me in. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! I am envious of your sewing skills! I am currently working on a "skirt" for my sewing table which you inspired me to do!
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT believe you sewed that! Holy Cow. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! I will squeeze into that shirt.
LOVE LOVE this! Thanks for the give-a-way!
ReplyDeleteJust had a baby and this would cover some of the pudge in the middle. Love it! (the shirt not the pudge) :o)
ReplyDeletedo you like how everybody wants it for post baby???

ReplyDeleteyou're so amazing. (don't enter me in! i'm your sister so it doesn't count) i just can't believe you did that - or i can believe it, i'm just uber jealous. i always go to anthropologie and see a million things i want - if i could just come home and make them my life would be set.
ReplyDeletelove you. :)
i'm very impressed. i'd love to win!

ReplyDeleteGreat job Steph! I'm trying to save up some money so I can order my own Stephanie original dress some day! ;) In the mean time I'm going to throw my name in the hat! Love the shirt too cute!
ReplyDeleteCould I possibly lose 10 pounds by Saturday night? Darn...don't think that's going to work. I can't believe how you whip these things out...incredible.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm just in aawww of your talents. Really awesome.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute shirt!! I love anthropology.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Do I dare ask how long it took you? I'll live in denial that it took you a really loooong time so I don't cry over my sewing "skills" (or lack of them).
ReplyDeleteI have a very real love of bows so I Love this blouse! You did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I want one.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute shirt! You are amazing. What a great talent. I would be so proud to wear a Stephanie original :) (Well, an original copy, I guess :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful
ReplyDeleteDarling! Unfortunately I've never been a 0-2 and never will be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty blouse. I've sewn one blouse before and it not easy task. You're a great seamstress.
ReplyDeleteWith all the talk of this shirt being such a great "post baby" shirt, I am half afraid to win...I don't want anyone thinking that I am prego or newly un-prego. However, the shirt is so great, I would take the chance!!
ReplyDeleteCould not fit my arm in to a 0-2 but that shirt is ADORABLE! I may even like yours more than the original.
ReplyDeleteThat blouse is beautiful! Pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you amaze me! I do the same thing in Anthropologie. So lucky you can make their stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shirt. I love the bow with the pleating in the front.
