Notes	Turned out nice. I added an inch to the bust measurement and 2 inches to the underbust on the pattern order, and the blouse fits very well. A great pattern for silk or fabric that drapes.

Yes the outside tucks were a bit different. I basically went by where the center fold should be for the outside tucks and sewed the same width of tuck as for the inside. I may have made them slightly wider, but not much. I ignored the pattern marking lines and just went with the natural fold of the cut. I was more concerned with overall symmetry than with the fold lines drawn on the pattern. Does that make sense?

Hi, Your top looks great!! What did you do with the 2 outside tucks ass they are wider at the top compared to the 4 centre ones?? I am trying to make a muslin of the pattern and just thought I'd ask how someone else had got on with this issue.
Thanks
Karen
