that top needs something to dress it up, it's to plain. Her suggestion was a necklace, I can't wear necklaces because of my trac. As I thought about it this week I think I want to embroider something close to the neckline. The neckline is slightly scooped. Now put your thinking caps on and let your creative juices flow. I am open to suggestions. Can't wait to see your ideas.

I find this site has such beautiful designs, there might be something there you would like nonmusic...

Gerryb beat me to it. But how about embroidering either just in the neckline/front opening corners, OR
down the front opening, if it has buttons you could embroider button/buttonhole designs.

Another great place for embroidering on jackets/shirts is around the bottom above the hemline or in the front opening/hemline corner.

A lot depends on the style of the shirt, you can also embroider where the shoulder placket meets the main front section, if it is designed that way.

If you browse Embroidery Library (links below) you will get further inspirational ideas.
hope this helps.
Hugs n roses, M

Designs by Sick also has a really nice set of neckline designs. It's fairly new so should be on the first page or two.

Yes they are. Thanks

Yes I was thinking a neckline desgin also...and maybe just take a little of the design and put on the outside of both lower pant legs. Are you able to do that? Take a piece out of the main design.
Hope you work something out....

I think I have those. I will play with them. Thanks

Look at http://www.emblibrary.com - put necklines in the search box in the upper left hand corner - you will find all kinds of great designs - this week they are featuring paisley necklines that I really like - type in paisley necklines and look at those.
Hope you find something you like!

Is this one of your designs?

Find some mini flowers that you could stitch in different colors...divide the neckline in 4's and stitch at each point:)
