Ah, I've been thinking of this pattern too, so I'm glad to see it reviewed by someone my size :-)... Your plaid looks very cool, a good thing in these hot times! It looks on the pattern photo like there's almost a v-neck under that collar, but that effect is almost not there on your picture. Is that a picture artefact, or do you feel like the collar does sit fairly low on the neck? Thanks for the review!

Fuzzy - I wouldn't call this a v-neck. It must be just an idiocyncrasy of the Burda photo. The model has a long slender neck and mine is short and stumpy :-)

Cool looking blouse for this hot weather - I like your choice of fabric.

I'm really glad I read your review as I have this pattern and was going to use it with some Hawaiian Kona print fabric I have. I didn't even notice the collar was rounded so this will give me something to think about. But it looks very nice and I may just go ahead and use it rounded!! Nice job!!

Thanks for the review. I have this pattern and I'm glad to see it made up and also learn that it's an easy to put together.

I'm just about to make this up and appreciate your review to point out the foibles of the round collar. Thanks!

Many thanks,Elaray.I asked for this to be reviewed as I've had it for a while.I too thought the neckline was 'dropped' and as I have a short, thick neck, I would have had a surprise! Also hadn't noticed the rounded collar. Glad to find a quick'n'easy shirt for our summer coming.

Hmmm. I made this top recently, and mine DOES have a lower neckline, much like the photo. That was the main draw for this pattern, and I am quite happy with the result.

LizK - I guess I really need to lose weight -- especially in my neck!! A lower neck would have been an interesting element and I would have liked it. I didn't make any design changes to the neckline. For some reason, mine didn't turn out that way.

I have recently sewn this pattern, and I was very pleased with the results. I have shied away from Burda because I once read that they were designed for the European woman: thin and not very busty. I realize now that this is anything but the truth. I was thrilled not to have to mess around with bust adjustments: the pattern coped with my "overabundance" very well and the pattern dart was even in the right place! (what a concept!!) I can't comment on the collar shape, since I made a sort of mandarin collar instead. It sat rather wider than I had expected, but works okay. Would the differences in people's experience actually be due to button placement?
