Cidell 3/19/07Loving that blouse. I also hate tucking in! Very sharp.

cindy-lou 3/19/07Okay, it's on my wishlist now. LOVE the contrast waist, and as usual I love your fabric choice. Your blouse has a retro-mod look that's very hip!
* * *
HeathersMom 3/19/07Breathtaking! As a I said earlier, I always enjoy your creations!
* * *
Debbie Cook 3/19/07Love this!! I can't see any photo except the main review photo though. :(
* * *
Geek Sewing 3/19/07It flatters your figure very well. Very informative review. Now I won't give this pattern away at a swap. But I don't know if it will look good on me as it certainly does on you.
* * *
Soliel 3/19/07I really enjoy your posts. What a great looking top! Love the fabric you chose and the style. Now I want this pattern!
* * *
Christina Sonja 3/19/07Very flattering blouse! I made up a muslin of this pattern and the sleeve band was tight on me too. It made me realize that I always need to check that kind of thing before cutting out the pattern piece... PS - I think you need to take out the first "http://" from your photo links, although I'm still not able to view when I remove it...

Linda G 3/19/07Very beautiful, nice use of scraps left from that beautiful skirt.
* * *
ladybegood 3/19/07I love the contrast fabric for the midriff. Thanks for the tip re: the collar.
* * *
nicegirl512 3/19/07Sorry about the link problem! I fixed them, but not all were wrong so I don't know why none of them worked. I put a manual link at the end if all else fails.
* * *
Debbie Cook 3/19/07Yay ... the pics worked for me now. Thanks. It really looks so nice on you ... the style, the colors, your cute little figure.
* * *
Vonnevo 3/19/07Fabulous !!!!
* * *
ConnieB 3/19/07Cute, cute, cute!
* * *
lorelle 3/19/07Lovely review. You have terrific style. You always make lovely clothes. The blouse looks great on you.
* * *
Karen6790 3/19/07That's a great blouse for a cloudy day - you've made your own sunshine. Not sure if this is something I'd wear, but I appreciate all the pointers. Nice job.
* * *
SusiM 3/20/07Excellent review and what a fun garment. Thanks!
* * *
patsijean 3/20/07I love the use of the contrasting fabric. This is a very cute blouse on you.
* * *
Leora 3/20/07The neck and collar look great! I can see why you changed it. Did you make a new necklace to wear with it? Awesome blouse *thank you* for the detailed review!
* * *
Nancywin 3/20/07Vry, very cute! You probably don't like blouses for the same reason I don't - RTW never seems to fit right - and a blouse should fit. That, is the beauty of sewing! Nice job.
* * *
OP Gal 3/20/07Love the blouse. Thanks for the detailed review.
* * *
slanden99 3/20/07Beautiful blouse! This is going back on my wishlist
* * *
candyo 3/20/07Love your version! I too had the same problem with the sleeve bands being too tight, and I'm certainly no She-Ra!
* * *
ChristineX 3/22/07OMG I love this! You look awesome in this!
* * *
AlexaNJ 4/17/07I am so in love with this pattern and I want to make one so badly!! Great job!
