The pattern for this shirt is B4789, and I’ve made it least twice before. So, really I should not have been surprised that it’s such a low-cut pattern…but I was. I have a goldfish-strength memory sometimes.

It left part of me thinking that I needed to install a ‘modesty panel‘. Is there a grimmer name for anything in fashion? It makes me think of the fussy calico dresses work by my grade school teachers, the kind with tiny pastel floral prints and a prim white panel if the dress even dared to show some collarbone.

So, for that reason, I’m going to reject the idea of a ‘modesty panel’ and show a little décolletage. Whatever, it’s not like we burn people for doing that anymore. Right?
