I have a fixation with "Great White Shirts".  I love all variations and they're a must have for my wardrobe.  I wanted a crisp white statement top as a transition piece from summer to fall.

I picked McCall's 7163.  And I used this Rag & Bone White Mercerized Cotton Woven from Mood Fabrics.com.   This cotton woven is divine!  It has no stretch, and the luster of the fabric makes it look so luxurious.  

I was inspired by the Rosie Assoulin Fall 2014 white shirt.  Even though mine is intentionally not a direct duplication, and probably more wearable, I still have the off-the-shoulder style with the dramatic sleeves.  This is what I call a "Runway to Realway" look.  Because I don't know how easy it would be to drive and raise my arms over my head in the Rosie shirt, even though that design is incredibly beautiful. 

I cut the size small.  I used view D and just added the elastic at the waist like view C.  I didn't have to add any additional length.  It sewed perfectly from the envelope.

For the elasticized neckline, there is a double casing using 1/2" elasic in each one.  I love how neat it looks.  I'm not a fan of when fabric looks bunched up.

I debated on which version of the sleeves to use.  The elasticized opening won.  Plus, I felt that they represented my inspiration look.
