Beautiful blouse

I sewed the scooped neckline with the ruffle, in a size 1(B cup). This has everything I like in a blouse: big sleeves, an interesting neckline, a little bit of swing in the body, and economical length. It also has some pin tucks on the sleeves for added interest.

I knew that the intended neckline would be too scoopy for my liking, so I cut a size 1 but with the neckline raised to the size 9 level and that worked a treat. I also reduced the sleeve length by 1.5 inches which is standard for me.

The instructions are very clear and Vivian has even gone to the trouble of giving detailed instructions on how to extend the pattern to a dress length. I love it.
