Pattern Description:
Sleeveless blouse

Pattern Sizing:
36, 38, 40, 42, 44 (I cut a size 40 and it was fairly true to size)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?

The only difficult part is the pleating and attaching the stand-up collar.
Basically all the pleats go towards the neck resulting in a point and then the pleated fabric is caught in the shoulder seam and front facing.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I like the different neckline creating something special out of what really is a simple blouse.

Fabric Used:
Some pure silk that matched my green wool and cashmere blend fabric I used to make a jacket.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None other than shorten it for the blouse as this is the same pattern for a dress too.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes I might - however there are lots of other patterns I want to make up so it may not be straight away.

Conclusion:

Good basic blouse that will look good for formal occasions or casual.
