Pattern Description: Misses' blouse with collar and sleeve variations.
Pattern Sizing: I cut the 14 and it was two small.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?No
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I didn't like the sleeve opening.
Fabric Used: Georgette is the closest thing to it, It was not polyester because it raveled when I touched it.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made plackets for my sleeveClick Here I widened and lengthen the tie.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes, but try on the pattern before you cut.
Conclusion: For the first time in a long time I didn't try on my pattern or make a muslin. How hard could it be? When I tried the blouse on after attaching the 3 pieces, I was short about 4 inches to accommodate the girls. So I added a piece in the front thus eliminating the need for buttons. I really loved the fabric and could not discard this project. I have had it in my stash for a while, but could not figure out what I wanted to make until I saw this Dolce & Gabbana blouse at barneysClick Here for 895.00 so I had to think of something. The tie hides the additional piece. You would not know if I had not told you.

Oh I love this a lot, and you know I have this pattern but didn't recognize it, because your version is SO much more fabulous! Thanks for the tips on the bust, will definitely look at this before I cut it out.

I love that you widened the tie. I made this pattern and my DH asked my why the tie was so small!! I've made this blouse three times and love the pattern. Now, I'll have to make it again with the wider tie. Your blouse is beyond gorgous!! You did a wonderful job.
