Sherril Miller said... That's a very pretty blouse. I love the fabric choice. Did you have to do a FBA or is there a dart already in the pattern? 7/17/06 12:14 PM

bunz said... Really pretty! And looks totally RTW. I've been looking for a blouse pattern - I think this is it. 7/17/06 1:47 PM

BjP said... Thanks for the comments! Sherril, I should have mentioned that I did not do an FBA (there is no dart). I got away with it because I did not intend it to be close-fitting and in this fabric, it worked out just fine. In a not so light and airy fabric, an FBA would probably be needed for more than a C cup. 7/17/06 2:42 PM

Karla Kizer said... Another KS I've overlooked. I like this neckline/collar; it looks more feminine than many other versions of convertible collars. Your shirt looks especially appealing given the incredible temperatures we've had lately and you did great job with fabric choice and construction. And thanks a whole heck of a lot for adding another pattern to my shopping list....;-) 7/18/06 7:31 AM

Duchess said... Lovely blouse. I really like the cuffs. Think I will put this pattern on my list. Thanks for the review. 7/18/06 8:15 AM
Mini said... Looks much better than the dowdy pattern cover art! The cuffs and stripes are very current-I saw a similar blouse at Nordstrom's for about $60.00 (ouch). Aren't you glad you sew:). 7/18/06 8:23 AM

beangirl said... very pretty blouse! That type of cuff is on of my favorites. You will be so happy with using it on other patterns, I think. Awesome "outfit"! ;-) 7/18/06 8:50 AM
