Notes I really liked the style of the blouse but found it very frustrating to sew as I had several problems with it.
I sewed the blouse in a mustard polyester first and had three main problems
1) The fit is huge, length and width, so I had to make it a lot smaller
2) I coudn't work out how to sew the armholes as this step is after the side seams and neckline and ended up topstitching them together which I was unhappy with.
2) The rear flounce doesn't drape like the photo and looks disconnected from the front flounce

I was determined to conquer this pattern. When I sewed the blouse in a cream polyester, I made the following changes
1) I left the side seams till almost last, so that I could use the burrito method to sew the armholes which I was much happier with.
2) I flipped orientation of the rear flounces so that the top of the rear flounce isn't connected to the shoulder seam. The rear flounce draped much better.
3) I am still thinking of adding rear darts for some shaping as the top has a very boxy shape.

I still really like the 'epic' front flounces and I think I might sew it again in a nicer fabric to show off the style of the blouse.
