Pattern Description:
A sleeveless blouse with asilk necktie, a cummerbund type waistband, and a placket opening in back.
Pattern Sizing:
Sizes 6-12. I made asize 10. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, I think it is very similar since I used silk charmeuse for the blouse, a fabric similar to the photo.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, The instructions were easy except the instructions for how to sew the back placket opening which totally confused me. I would recommend looking at a good sewing book instead.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It was simple to sew but looks very sophisticated.
Fabric Used:
I used a designer silk charmeuse fabric with a feather print on it. A very fashionable print right now! Jan. 2013
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made the pattern a size smaller than recommended. I don't like much ease in my clothing!
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I plan on making another version with sleeves. I love it!
Conclusion:
Buy this pattern for $13.46 List Price: $17.95Add to Bag
