Pattern Description: Misses' blouse with collar and sleeve variations. Blouse with a V-neck tie, wide V-neck collar, flounces or trimmed neckline. Simplicity sewing pattern.

Pattern Sizing: Misses 6-24

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; I didn't have any problems with the instructions... my problems were with my dang buttonholer on my machine.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like blouses and have been seeing a lot of these with the ties and gathered sleeves.

Fabric Used: this is a wonderful silk and cotton voile. It is sheer so it will need a cami underneath. but the sheerness and drapy-ness are perfect for this top.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: no changes.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes. it is a nice top

Conclusion: I made this a while ago but my buttonholer on my Bernina was not lining up so then I pulled out my Pfaff, and well, Pfaff makes terrible buttonholes. so I put it aside until I could be without my Bernina for a few weeks so the buttonholer could be fixed. All seams are french seams and this top really went together nicely. It's a great blouse.
