Syntax with multiple adjectives.
I have a hard time with sentences with many adjectives. I never know in what order the adjectives should go in Spanish.
Example: She wore a lovely green and white fitted shirt.
Ella llevaba una preciosa camisa entallada verde y blanca.
or
Ella llevaba un a camisa preciosa entallada verde y blanca
or
Ella llevaba una preciosa camisa verde y blanca entallada
or any number of other combinations?
Is it important what adjective comes first?

Ella llevaba (or usaba) una camisa preciosa de color blanco y verde a la medida. I think you have to look for the noun and go backwards as in, a black horse: un caballo negro. Una casa grande, preciosa y sola. ( a big, beautiful and unoccupied house). Well, I hope you understand. From shirt, I went on to describe its looks, then colors and then size. Personally, I don't think it matters too much what goes first, especially when talking to other people. In writing, that could be another story.
