Celeste said... I am so in love with your blouse! You and I must be very similarly shaped, as I find that when I do back darts they have to go way up like yours; also very narrow upper back, sway back, C-D bust.... 7/21/06 11:50 PM

OP Gal said... Once again, a wonderfully detailed review and beautiful garment. However, I will take exception to your description of yourself as Rubenesque. I wouldn't call you remotely Rubenesque, and believe me, I'm intimately acquainted with Rubenesque. :-) 7/22/06 10:10 AM
Modiste Madness said... I would have never considered this pattern without your review. You have a wonderful eye for design. Thanks for all your contributions. 7/22/06 10:15 AM
PhyllisC said... Love it in seersucker - a brilliant fabric choice! 7/22/06 10:48 AM
MaryBeth said... Ahhhhh, that's a great garment!!! That's also one of the Marfy patterns that I thought I might order (no time to order, much less sew, so far) 7/22/06 11:01 AM
GorgeousFabrics said... What a great blouse! -Ann 7/22/06 11:26 AM
Pat T said... Great job of seeing design potential using stripes to fully use the pattern pieces -- and this wasn't obvious from the line drawings. This makes me wish Marfy worked for me and my small upper frame. (And I know that Debra did this from start to finish in less than a week -- when she bought the buttons 6 days ago too she hadn't cut it out yet!) 7/22/06 11:36 AM
hongkongshopper said... Debra, this is lovely. You are so adventurous with stripes! I love what you do with Marfty, but alas they don't make them small enough for me. Thanks for the extra photos :) 7/22/06 10:59 PM
AnneM said... catching up on reviews: Great grain adjustment; love the effect. Nic eidea to change this into a blouse. 11/24/06 2:10 PM
Liana said... Don't know how I missed this! It looks great, and I love your stripe variations! 5/7/07 9:50 AM
Lis K said... Love the look of this blouse. Especially the shoulder treatment. I would love to use a Marfy pattern but I'm too small. Thanks for your help. 4/6/08 2:19 PM
