Capsule wardrobe warmup

First time making Frida as a warmup before starting the capsule wardrobe project. I really enjoyed the shirt, it’s quick and easy to make. The only thing I would change about it for myself is to make it slightly wider at the hips, it skims my hips and I prefer a little bit wider. The classic shirt is my absolute favourite as the shape is perfect for me. I can definitely see myself making more for next summer as I love the look of collarless shirts.
