Description: Misses' shirt, fitted with A, B, C, D cup sizes
Sizes: 6 to 20
Instructions: Were very good and easy to follow on this Vogue pattern. Also, quite a bit of information on the custom fit for the cup sizes. How to measure and achieve a good fit.
Likes/Dislikes: I liked the look of the gathered front, something I had seen in RTW blouses. Another like is the front neckline, how it gives a hint of a v-neck in a blouse and doesn't button up to the collar band.
A big like is the cup sizing.
Changes: Add length to the blouse and the sleeves.
Fabric: Cotton shirting from Wal-Mart, pretty decent and not alot of money involved for the first time making the blouse.
Conclusion: A great blouse pattern for your sewing needs. I made a C cup on this blouse even though I measured a B cup per Vogue's instructions. I just didn't want the blouse to be tight and the description is fitted. The bust is a bit big, I should have followed the instructions! Do be careful fitting the bottom of the blouse, it is a slimmer fit. I let out a bit at the hips for a better fit.
Oooo....I love the color and it looks beautifully made!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking blouse. I also purchased this pattern for exactly the same reasons as you and am planning to make it very soon. I really hope mine turns out as nice as yours - I love the beautiful colour!
ReplyDeleteI really love this blouse..the color really sings. Your version has inspired me to sew up this pattern :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! This pattern is my short list too. If my list could ever be called short. lol
ReplyDeleteWow--purple! Gorgeous color. A girl can never have too many blouses or tshirts. Or jeans. Or cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have this pattern and actually had some stretch poplin in purple in my shopping cart at Fabric Mart. I think I'll hit the buy button today!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I was thrilled to buy this pattern for those same reasons and your great result is a wonderful reason to give it a higher sewing priority.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blouse! I have yet to try out one of those patterns with different cup sizes to see if it will take care of my fitting "problems".
ReplyDeleteYour new blouse turned out great! Love the color too!
ReplyDeleteGreat blouse. I've just ordered this pattern from the US - I wasn't sure about it, but needed a batch of seven because of high shipping costs to Australia. I am now very happy with my choice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous blouse. I love the rouching details, especially, and the color choice is perfect!
