Katy, I always like your reviews. They are always very helpful. This is a really cute top. I think next time with the full bust adjustment and adding a little width as well as the length, you will be really happy with the fit. Great job.

Good for you sticking with it! I have a few tops like these that spent time in time out and finally became wadders because I had trouble with fit. Look forward to your next blouse, this one looks pretty good!

You did a great job, thanks for the review. I'd not have paid any attention to this pattern otherwise, and it's very becoming.

I really like this shirt. It's a stylish cut & suits you.

I agree that the top is very stylish and becoming on, in spite of your sewing trauma! Sounds as if you and I sew much the same...I go from one trauma to the next, but I'm learning and paradoxically having fun!

Thanks so much for the encouraging replies - penelope it's very much that way isn't it! I'm working on an 'easy' project now to calm myself ;D

Katy, this is a very nice blouse. I have a suggestion about the wrinkles from the armhole to bust level. You mentioned you are 5'2". These patterns are drafted for someone 5'6". I think raising the armholes will help with the wrinkles, and make the upper bodice more comfortable. Armholes that are too low can make the chest feel too tight even when there is enough fabric to go around.

Hi Katy, your shirt looks great! I have also used this pattern and found it way too short; I added a couple of inches to the length. And I still think it could be longer!
