Vintage Joan said... Thanks for reviewing this! Your blouse is lovely -- I'm sorry the fit isn't quite right yet. I made a Burda blouse a while back and had what sounds like a similar issue (the armscye seam was too low). 4/2/11 8:47 PM

Rhoda K said... I agree with the others - very pretty blouse. Maybe you can work out the proper fit. I love red, too ;-) 4/2/11 10:15 PM

FreyaStark said... I'm sorry this pattern didn't work for you. I've made it twice, and found that it needs precise fit in the shoulders, neck and bust. If it's too long between the shoulders and bust, try a horizontal fold along the extension lines above the bust - I didn't notice them at first, but they are there and they are useful. (Folding out length there will also raise the height of the front opening.) I love your fabric! 4/3/11 2:49 AM
