I usually steer clear of large sleeves for the day - I actually love them, but I am the type of person who gets caught on things (like door handles!) when I wear them and also I did nearly set fire to some long gypsy style sleeves when I was cooking on a gas hob once. So yes I need to be careful! Being shorter sleeves I might consider a 'special' t-shirt from this pattern as well as a 'going out' top.

I like this style of sleeve and have a few tops with them, but i have one thought if you make it out of a thicker material it is hard to put a jacket on over and you when I manage I feel like the hulk. <br />But your top is beautiful. The fabric reminds me of Japanese calligraphy! So prefect. The colours really suit you. I recently ordered a tailors ham and it made necklines so much easier, especially binding.
