Pattern Description:
Brighten up your wardrobe with a pretty new blouse! The Alma Blouse is a feminine, semi-fitted blouse with neckline and sleeve variations. Darts create a fitted silhouette without being too tight, with an optional tie belt to cinch the waistline. The Alma Blouse closes at the side with an invisible zipper.

All of the sleeve and neckline options work together to create nine different blouses from a single pattern! Your choice of cute cap sleeves, elbow-length sleeves or long sleeves with cuffs. For the neckline, choose from a simple rounded neckline, a contrast Peter Pan collar, or a notched neckline to frame your face.

Perfect for work, equally pretty for a night out!

Sizing is proportioned for a pear-shaped figure: smaller bust and waist, larger hips.
Pattern Sizing:
Sizing is with pear shapes in mind. small waist and big hips. this fits me fine but i know that some other body shapes such as apples may have issues.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes it did
Were the instructions easy to follow?
extremely easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love that view A neckline and that it is so simple to put together. Also it comes with 3 variations providing endless sewing opportunities.
Fabric Used:
Cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lenghtened the top by 2 inches.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I have already. I am going to make a couple more long sleeved versions and want to try the collar one too.
Conclusion:
This is a great top. It offers versatility and is really easy to make.
