I made this up twice and it turned out well both times. I was not able to do the drawn-thread work. I followed the instructions carefully and failed.

Overall a good pattern. The fit of the front can be a bit fiddly. Even though it is unfitted through the chest, the weight of the middle panel and the buttons on one side can cause the front to hang heavily. The armhole was just a touch tight on me (but, that’s a common problem for me). You may want to enlarge the collar if you wear a larger size and also lengthen below the waist to keep the blouse tucked in. This is a sleek, yet feminine design.

The pattern is too large and the sleeves much too long for a smaller person.

I have short arms, but the sleeves were inches too long for me (normally it’s by about 1/2-3/4″). I don’t think there were enough different gradations in the collar size to fit all sizes well.
