A New Blouse

I finished a new blouse!

I used the same pattern as my Japanese floral double gauze blouse from a few years ago, McCall's 6124. 

I have to admit I'm not entirely thrilled with this pattern, ever after all my changes and fitting tweaks. I'm not sure if I'll continue to fuss with it for upcoming versions or start again with a different pattern.

The fabric is a very light weight 50/50 cotton and rayon blend. It's very soft! The colors are delightful and I love the print with all the sassy-faced ladies.

The fit in back is never as smooth as I hope, but it's pretty good.

The front and cuffs close with grey mother-of-pearl buttons I found in my stash. I like the way they disappear into the print.

I'm not used to buttoning my cuffs! When I wear this with a cardigan I will probably just leave them unbuttoned for easier rolling up of sleeves.

Yay! A blouse! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
