lakaribane said... I love your fabric and you are right: it's boxy but flattering in an inexplicable way. I may have to make one for my mother. 9/5/10 8:33 AM
Lizz said... I have just finished two versions of this blouse and love both of them. The boxy styling is great for my hippy frame. I added 4" slits at the side seams and shortened the sleeves and was very happy - reviews to follow after vacation. 9/5/10 11:01 AM

michellep74 said... Very stylish blouse! Thanks for your review--I liked this blouse in the magazine but never thought that it would work on my figure...but after seeing how great yours is, I think it might work for me with a drapey enough fabric. Love what you did to your fabric, too! 9/5/10 1:56 PM

KatieA said... I was just searching for tops to make with some silk dupioni I will NEVER make the bust part of a strapless dress.. came across this - technique looks fabulous, thanks! 6/13/11 10:25 AM
JillyBe said... That's the 'slouch blouse', isn't it? Great use of dupioni - I hadn't considered it for this shirt. And fabulous info on the distressing as well! 6/19/11 3:01 PM
threadandthumb said... Thanks for posting this! I didn't like the sheen of some dupioni I bought and threw it in the wash - one wash didn't tone it enough, but now that I see it can withstand more washings then throwing it in the washer again will not be so scary. I bet that blouse is comfy after conditioning the fabric! 1/17/12 12:42 PM
