Re Becca said... Yes, I like your better. Your adjustments to the neckline and sleeves make it look more flattering. This looks fabulous. 2/26/09 12:06 PM
Renren said... I like how you thought to reduce the sash width, the puffiness of the sleeves, and the cuff width. Those are not things I would think of changing, but I can see how doing so would truly customize the fit. I like how you confidently make such decisions. Very nice. 2/26/09 12:31 PM
Christas said... Your blouse/jacket looks so nice! I really needed your puffed sleeve adjustment on a blouse I recently made. Great job! 2/26/09 5:22 PM

Secretsugar said... When I first clicked on your photo, I thought this was a vintage-looking short wrap coat--maybe '40's era inspired. I was surprised to learn that it was a blouse pattern and I LOVE it! I'm disappointed to learn that the pattern is OOP, but maybe I'll try and find a similar pattern and use a "coat-y" fabric to recreate the effect. This really is so pretty to me! Love the color, too. 2/27/09 10:31 PM
