Lovely blouse with pretty pleat detailing.

I love this blouse! It has made up true to size and looks very much like the picture, with pleats at the front neckline giving extra fabric for the bust, which are then repeated as a little detail on the cuffs of the sleeve.

The instructions were a little sketchy in places, so this is definitely not a pattern for a beginner, some of it I had to work out on my own.  It was not particularly difficult if you have made a blouse before.

I will, I am sure, be making more of these blouses.  Next time I will lower the neckline an inch or two as it is a little high-necked for my liking.

I made it in a drapey viscose, and I would recommend sticking with a drapey fabric as the pleats hang beautifully. Not that a stiffer fabric like cotton wouldn’t work, you’d just get a much more pronounced shape without much bust definition. I only had 1.3m but had no trouble fitting it on, despite the pattern recommending 1.4m. Even with the fabric being a one-way design there was still enough left over to make my own bias binding, so the amounts “required” seem to be quite generous.
