Pattern Description: Misses' Blouses with Trim Variations

Pattern Sizing:6,8,10,12,14 I made size 8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Straight forward and easy to follow. I looked at the previous PR of this pattern and didn't have difficulty with the collar as noted by others but have made some other collars recently with the same instructions

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I don't have any dislikes that I can identify. I like the fit of the shoulders and upper body.

Fabric Used: One of my favorite cottons I bought while at Lolly's in Shipshewana this summer and took my time selecting the pattern to use for this fabric.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't have to alter much. I did use a smaller hem allowance on the side seams after basting to make sure it wasn't too tight. I did use 6 buttons too as recommended on previous PRs of this pattern.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes

Conclusion: This is the shirt after a full day of work and the fit is great! I had thought that if I used this pattern again I would want to make the 10, but didn't have any problems with the fit all day. I will more than likely make this again using a different view and collar.
