Annika said... Lovely blouse - I too like the idea of the undulating front band, but it seems a little over the top for this piece. The pleats are a nice feature...does the one center back add a little extra room? 6/16/06 11:43 AM

beangirl said... I love your "simplified" version of this blouse, it's very elegant. Beautiful! 6/16/06 11:58 AM
cerulean said... You did a great job! I really like your version.
With 6 layers of fabric in the buttonhole area, it's probably not an accident that the original is done in a very thin material. 6/16/06 12:03 PM
els said... Great blouse. 6/16/06 12:03 PM
Patti B said... I love this pattern and your version is just gorgeous. This is the kind of striking blouse that becomes a staple -- classic but not boring. I'm moving this up the "to be sewn" list. 6/16/06 1:19 PM

Geordie Girl said... Chris, what a classy blouse. Its gorgeous. I looked at this and didn't like the button bands. Now I know I can sew it wothout I will look at it again! 6/16/06 2:02 PM
Ceri590 said... What a great blouse! I am having a hard time finding the Burda magazine but would love to look at one before subscribing. I see I am really missing out! 6/16/06 2:38 PM
CarolynGM said... I really like this. The pleats forming a peplum is a very attractive detail. 6/16/06 6:55 PM

Tov said... Lovely, and your choice of fabric enhances the pattern style. I like the blouse minus the undulating band. 6/16/06 8:37 PM
minieme said... This is on my to do list, I 'm attracted to the peplum effect too. I think it looks better in this case without the button band. 6/16/06 11:40 PM
Fran G said... Great blouse..love the pleats into peplum effect. I have the magazine but the lack of directions sort of scare me. I'll look more carefully at it again. Thanks for the great review. Love your fabric, too! 6/17/06 7:40 AM
Nancy K said... Fabulous! Beautiful blouse. Suggestion on buttonhole, use snap and sew button on top. Marc Jacobs does this all the time! 6/17/06 7:41 AM

beangirl said... wow, either I missed them the first time around or you added them, but those buttons are TDF!! And I think your "test" shirt was pretty nice too. This is just a great shirt all around. 6/18/06 11:36 AM
OP Gal said... I love this pattern and you did a great job. Too bad it wouldn't be flattering on my apple shape, or I'd try it. The test shirt looks fabulous, too. 6/18/06 2:15 PM
