| MLoyet | 8/24/08 | What a pretty shirt! I have been considering either the burda or the hot patterns "fit to be tied" version as well. I like the idea of doubling the ties so the wrong side does not show. Thanks for a great review. |

| Mahler | 8/24/08 | You made me laugh with your "Why-do-I-have-to-wear-these, eeeew-icky" ! You are so right. This is not a good publicity for their own patterns. Your review is great. and so is your blouse ! I love that colour on you. I envy your dark hair and beautiful complection ! |

| Catbird | 8/24/08 | You have such a knack for finding styles and colors that flatter you -- this is so pretty! Thank you for the excellent review. I hereby nominate you and Lori V to replace BOTH models on the pattern envelope...! |

| Annette1 | 8/24/08 | Yeah, I'm with Catbird: Y'all should BOTH be on the pattern front. :o) This is just darling on you, but then WHAT ISN'T? I can't believe the tie was not doubled in the first place, considering that is one of the main features of the blouse. That is most definitely an improvement. Wish I looked as good as you do in this style, because I love it! Excellent review, as always. :o) |

| Kbenco | 8/24/08 | This blouse looks lovely on you, I think it would not look nearly so rich with exposed hemming on the ties - what were Kwik Sew thinking? |

| Sew4Fun | 8/24/08 | Great blouse! I was also inspired by Lori's blouse and now yours. It's very flattering on both of you. I nominate both Lori and yourself as the new models. :) |

| 2BSewing | 8/24/08 | Gorgeous blouse. Looks wonderful on you. Love the fabric. I have this pattern in my stash that kept moving down my "to do" list. After seeing your version...I need to move it back up. Thank you for the review. |

| Karen6790 | 8/24/08 | It's a wonder anyone ever buys KwikSew with those pictures on the front. I hereby add my vote to putting you and LoriV on a reissued pattern. Beautiful job here, you've reminded me I have this pattern cut out too - must get to it. Thanks for the review. |

| Marji | 8/24/08 | Very attractive blouse and your fit is great.
I never think to look at KS, primarily because their cover photos are so un-inspiring. Your blouse is so much prettier than their photos. |

| Karen8320 | 8/25/08 | Louella, you always sew such fabulous tops that suit you really well and choose lovely fabrics to go with them. This top is so lovely! The shape of this collar is just right for this top and the ties give it a really feminine touch. Fantastic work again and a style that is so kool! |

| Squeezylemon | 8/25/08 | Gorgeous blouse on you! I always love the cheerful colours and patterns that you use, brightens up our grey skies in Northern Ireland! |

| shesflipped | 8/25/08 | Another fabulous top by You! I really like the style & tie belt~Looks great on you! I second the motion for You and Lori V. to model your versions of this top on the pattern cover. What's with those two on the cover anyway? They both look as if they are smelling something unpleasant. |

| EveS | 8/25/08 | I love it (now there's a surprise)! :) BTW, are there any colors that look bad on you?? |

| imsewbusy | 8/25/08 | Nice details! And yes, why DO the models always look like they'd rather be anywhere than on the front of this pattern envelope! Great review! |

| Jane S | 9/11/08 | Wow, wow, wow. I think this might be my favorite garment on you this year. It looks just like a very expensive blouse I bought at Saks this year...don't tell my husband what I paid because it doesn't fit as nicely as yours. |

| ryan's mom | 9/13/08 | This is so pretty on you! You wear those tops and jacket with ties so well. I always shy away from them because I think it will make me look even more short-waisted. This style looks really great on you. |
