Pattern Description: Vintage style blouse. Blouse has bust darts, front and back tucks and a side zipper

Pattern Sizing: 2-16 I made a size 2

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes, there are step by step instructions/pictures in Gertie's book

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Love the tucks that give you a flattering fit. The top is a little short in length.

Fabric Used: A shiny polyester found on clearance @ Joann Fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I opted for an invisible zipper instead of the lapped zipper.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I will be sewing again and would definitely recommend.

Conclusion: This is a great top that can be made in a few hours. Next time I will go up a size and lengthen it about 3 inches. You can see more pictures and details on my blog post here
