Pattern Description: Blouse with a double yoke and gathers.

Pattern Sizing:Burda sizing from 36 to 44, I sewed a size 44.

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are fine, if you are familiar with Burda instructions. I fond having another sewing text readily available is always a good idea since these instructions are quite minimal.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like that the blouse was collarless (a new style for me) and the gathers on the yoke.
Fabric Used:A linen that I purchased from Marcy Tilton's website.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I omitted the body darts.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes, I may sew it again, but in a size smaller. This one is a tad too big, but does work as a light weight jacket. I would recommend it as a nice blouse which could be sewn up in different fabrics for different looks.

Conclusion: Even though I think I should have gone down a size I have worn this quite a bit. For more of my ramblings, please visit my blog
