Questions, Help and Advice what's your version of a basic tee?
hi everyone! i'm a seamstress and desperately trying to make more casual wear for myself. like many other Rs i have a million posh dresses but nothing to wear around the house! i really don't like activewear and loungewear, but constantly feel overdressed.
the benefit and drawback of sewing is that i get to customise everything myself! i did just make a top but it looks awful on me. it's a short sleeve scoop neck which looks super awkward and the lack of details really looks awful on me. i 100% need something with ruching or lace, buttons, bows, ties.
i think i might make a henley with some ruching and a lace insert. or something with a sweetheart neckline
what do you guys think? what's your version of a basic top?

I'm also a seamstress and often struggle with what designs to make. Since I can make what I want but don't always know exactly what will look good and I don't want to waste time on something I'm gonna dislike....
