Notas	I made this blouse in raw silk and I am very happy with the result. The design is very versatile and flattering. I particularly like the neckline, which is open without actually being low, so I have been able to wear it to work. Despite the name, the sleeves are not unusually wide. The fit is perfect, aside from the band around the elbow which was far too small. The legs of the bust dart only line up with the side seam if you fold it upwards, which I didn't like - in my book bust darts are meant to be folded downwards. I spaced the buttons differently to the markings on the pattern. I will be making this blouse many more times, with the next version in cotton lawn already on the sewing table.
