I volunteer as tribute!

Hang on, let me set the mood...


Okay, now we can begin.

The recently revived Sewcialists blog decided to kick off its revivification with a tribute month. I knew exactly who I would be copying using as my inspiration: Lauren from lladybird and her many Butterick 5526s. Given my fabric choice, this one seems the most likely culprit, but honestly back in May I was catching up on her old posts and finally found the princess-seamed button down of my dreams (meaning that it was a) still in print and b) on sale). Scooped that right up.

And then waited until August 30 to start making this top. Because obviously I could make my first button down in two days when I really should have been getting ready for back-to-school.

(Spoiler alert: I couldn't and didn't.)
