Pattern Description: Blouse with a peplum

Pattern Sizing: Regular pattern sizing

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were super easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the look. Can't wait to make another one.

Fabric Used: I used gabardine. I wish I used a fabric that had a slight stretch.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: So I goofed and lengthened the bodice since I have a long torso. I didn't make any changes to the front bust darts, and therefore had bust darts over my boobs (instead of under). I then decided to use bias tape as a "trim" to add some embellishment over my user error, and you can't tell. It just looks like that is the design. Whew! Because my dart stitches were so small that there was no way I was going to re-do the darts

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

Conclusion: Super easy. Contemporary look. Can't wait to wear and sew another.

When I click on the photo, it says I have to sign into a yahoo account to see the pic. Maybe if you designate the photo for 'public' viewing, or something like that...?

Love this pattern -- my fashionista friend made it and it was sooo flattering. Like others, I get the yahoo message -- I'd love to see your upclose picture.
