I felt in love with the little ruffle shirt since the first sample was completed. It is so elegant and romantic. There are a few things I would like to share on wearing and taking care of this lovely little creation.
The cuffs are little tighter than other shirt because of the thickness of the ruffle. When you put it on your girl, put it on 3/4 way and gently push the cuffs up the wrist(mainly to get the thumb through). It will make it much easier than pulling it from the shoulder, and most likely it doesn't work that way with this little thing (because I tried it)!
After that, you can gently pull the shirt up to 80 to 90%. Then, swing the girl's arm back and forth, around 30 degree angle, the shirt should be sliding up in place at the shoulder.
Gently press the collar with fingers when the shirt is wet. This way it will keep the collar kind of floating in between when dry. You can also use iron to press it all the way down.
Fraying is unavoidable because of the raw edge but it is also the beauty of it. To keep it from fraying, most important is to be gentle with the edges. Also, you can apply fray check to the edges, which can be easily found in sewing isle in craft stores. The only thing is it smells a bit strong which I'm allergic to (most chemical smell). So just keep that in mind.
Other than these little things, enjoy the little ruffle shirt!
