Notes This fits closely at the shoulders, and has narrow sleeves, but is VERY flared to the lower edge. This makes the “side view” rather unflattering and tent-like. Great for hot weather, as the lower part is very swingy and "well-ventilated".

Fabric is 2 different Liberty cotton lawn fabrics, the inner front used a smallish piece left over from another project, dress 5404, which I made a few years ago. This piece should go all the way up to the shoulder seams, but there was not enough fabric, so I cut it about 3 cm shorter - a great use for a piece that may otherwise have been scrap. I always feel pleased when I can use up every bit of my lovely fabric!

Not sure if I would wear this out in public, as I would feel self-conscious about the side view, but it should be great for doing the gardening....

    Тем не менее, вполне себе симпатично

    Go with the flow. Wear it with flair and if anyone questions, tell them it's lagenlook. :-) it would be if you wore a midiskirt and a pair of baggy ruffled pants.

    Thank you Tannie.
    "spacious" is definitely a good description for this blouse!!!

    It is indeed a very spacious model, but the fabric with the paisly motif is beautiful. Simply putting on wher you want to go is nothing wrong with a spacious blouse!
