Pattern Description:
Simple blouse with cap sleeves, button back, and waist shaping.
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?
Mostly. May be confusing to absolute beginners.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
If you are hoping to learn traditional/couture sewing techniques (as suggested) while sewing this blouse, you may want to look to other resources as well because the book often doesn't have thorough descriptions of the techniques suggested.
Fabric Used:
Cotton-rayon blend? (it was a gift)
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lowered the front neckline by an inch so that it didn't choke me. In the future, I will add an additional button so that the blouse can also be worn untucked without gaping open in bottom back.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes.

Really nice top. The fabric is a perfect choice for the style.

Very cute! I agree that the front neckline looks more comfortable lower. (And probably is more comfotable!). I haven't yet made this blouse, because I know I need to change it.
