Pattern Sizing: I made a size 10, but used all of the darts for the size 12

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? They were. i got a little confused applying the bias strips as a facing, but I was able to figure that out quickly.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? A peter pan collar and a bow!!!!

Fabric Used: I was able to make this blouse out of just one yard of cute fox print Japanese cotton.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I'd like to make this out of another fabric with more drape. This style is cute and reminds me of something you'd see on Mod Cloth.


Conclusion: I really like this pattern. The style is cute. It works well on its own and also under a cardi. More photos and details can be found in my blog, Dapper Duds

This is a wonderful top, especially with the whimsical fox print. I missed the review while traveling this winter.
