Another great job. Looks like you're on your way to a great wardrobe with beautiful colors! I don't think this blouse is too colorful at all. I really like it.

Looks like the perfect blouse for welcoming (?) Daylight Savings Time - summery colors that are right in style this year. You did a great job, especially considering the monumental alterations you have to make on most patterns. The collar might seem a bit larger than we're used to, but I like it; instead of looking out-of-date, it seems new and interesting. I think you'll enjoy wearing this one.

I love this top. I grabbed that fabric as soon as I got the swatch. I think that with this feminine fabric the blouse looks retro rather than dated.

Very cute blouse and what a lovely print. I think the collar looks bigger because you graded the blouse down a lot, but not the collar. As Karla says, it does look interesting the way it is.

I'm with JLG. The collar styling and print are vintage, not dated. Wow Sue, the workmanship on your blouse is flawless!

I can only echo what the others have said! I love the crisp look of this blouse & the summery look of the colors! Thanks for the review!

That blouse is exactly like one I saw in Ann Taylor yesterday, but yours (of course) is so much cuter! Wish they still made this pattern :(

I have this pattern, purchased probably around 1999! THe only thing I've made is the sleeveless pullover top, and I like that a lot--also nicely shaped for a basic shell. Thanks for the review of the blouse; I love yours in the floral print, and am thinking it might be nice to pull out a flowered cotton lawn I have stashed somewhere for this. As for the skirt, I never even noticed the waistband is elastic. I'm going to check that out. With full skirts right on the top of every "must have" list this season, I could make good use of this, esp. in the shorter length. Enjoy your blouse!

LOL-This looks quite conservative to me (definitely not too colorful, but pretty and summery-not loud at all). I think this turned out pretty, and the collar looks a little big but aren't bigger lapels common these days? I like it. I don't really know, I don't get out much :oP I'm glad I'm not the only one with patterns this old in my stash-thanks for the review!
