I'd probably make it too if that brand of pattern was sold here, looks good, what kind of fabric did you use?

Marita-I used a rayon that was very drapey. My only problems were dealing with the fabric. You can buy the patterns at her web site if no one carries them locally. Most of them seem to be very versatile.

Peggy, are the patterns drafted for tall figures? I have not tried any of these, although the styles look attractive. I think I read somewhere that she drafts patterns for 5'9", but maybe that is incorrect. I like this blouse, but don't want to do major alterations for a petite height.

Mini -it says "if you are taller or shorter than 5'8" you may need to adjust. There are "shorten" lines - I am only 5'3" and probably about your size (though not in as good of shape!!!) The only alteration I did was move the bust point-other than that it just the shortness thing! Actually, I think this might make a good tunic for one of your "salwar kameez" outfits.

Good idea-a kameez with pockets!I will give this a try.

Rita, you can always contact Peggy Sagers via her web site as noted in the review and she's great at getting back to you quickly. She is very interested in helping her customers achieve great fit.

Peggy, I'm getting ready to make this pattern up. I too am a petite plus. I usually sew up a 16 pattern with 18 sideseams and make a bust adjustment for C cup. And, of course, the petite adjustments. What size did you decide to use and how did that work for you? How is that picture coming along?

Sherril - sorry, picture is not coming well. As my children tell me, our family is electronically challenged! I can't remember the size I used -I'll have to look tonight (I'm working!) but I did use the pattern piece for the "c" cup. I got some sheer material yesterday from Sewing Studio. I think I will do the sheer version of this.

Peggy, I am about to make this pattern, but find it strange that no interfacing is used on the front button/button hole area. Did her technique work? Is it sturdy enough for buttons/button holes?

Ruth - the pattern was designed for no interfacing. I have shrunk out of that top - way better than going the other way!!! Being from the "old school", I probably put a little interfacing behind the buttons & buttonholes.

I'm getting more interested in this pattern all the time. The idea of making it in a sheer for summer is suddenly singing to me!
