Notes Not exactly a perfect fit, I had to tighten the front pieces quite a lot and to add the darts on the back too. As for the sleeves, they could be a bit longer. The cuffs seemed really odd, I prefered making them on my own. Plus, I added the classic "shirt" slit on the sleeve (originally the slit was intended to be in the seam).
For sure my choice of fabric was not good as this kind of blouse requires a more flowy one but the pattern is really not fitting to me.

    So true. I order a custom pattern and sometimes it doesn't come close to fitting properly so many alterations have to be made. When they do fit perfectly, I am so happy!

    Thank you, Jane! ????Well yes, I took always the measurements before ordering. Unfortunately not every time the fit is as expected. But at the end, one has to be able to use a bit of creativity..

    Despite the problems you had with the pattern, your blouse looks REALLY nice! The fabric is quite pretty. Curious if you ordered a pattern based on your specific measurements or not?
