Originally I had planned to make top C but for no apparent reason I decided I preferred top A. I had what I thought was some very nice fabric in red and started to make this shirt. As I started to sew I realized this was not the perfect fabric at all, the weave was too loose, the shape was terrible and when I tried to take out some stitches with the seam ripper it was a nightmare. Typically I would have just stuck with it, suffered, completed the garment, found lots of fault with it and never wore it. I stopped myself and decided it was okay to admit defeat and find more appropriate fabric, which I did. It was so much better all the way around.
I felt it needed a name and a sewn-in label. Stella quickly came to mind (thanks Stell) and there you have it!
