Third Dove Blouse – love it

A review of Megan Nielsen Dove Blouse

Reviewed by FoodieNelly on 13th January, 2019

This is my third Dove Blouse and I love it. I again made the one with the bigger bell sleeves (as I found the larger bell nicer than the smaller one) but this time added the hem facing, which you might not be able to tell, but it made it easier to hem with the facing due to its curve.
Fabric is a viscose.
Adjustments: I took the front and back in by 1cm in total at the centre on the pattern to make it a touch smaller and I also closed off the darts so I didn’t have any fraying material on the inside (the pattern haves you cut into the darts which isn’t what I’d normally do). I used a seam allowance of 1cm around the neckline (I think the pattern has the seam allowances as smaller than this) and used some interfacing to stabilise the neck rather than stay-stitching.
