I have decided that this pattern will be used to several tops in different variations and colors and I can't wait to make them. It is very simple and and straight forward pattern. The "Tucks" at the waist as they are called, not "Darts" are awesome and can be adjusted to make the fit more flattering on the body.
I am not done, it still needs to be hemmed and an the bottom added but I wanted to share my progress and I am so excited about this particular top. Here you can see the phases as it take shape.
I can't wait to show you guys how I plan to style it, so stay tuned. Happy Sewing!
Very nice-- both the style and the fabric.

DeleteMelanie, "Do you know you are making my "dream" blouse? I adore a blouse with puff sleeves. I wish this "WalMart McCall's Pattern came in a size 6,8,10,12 for some reason it was only released in a size 14, 16, 18, 20, 22!?! Can't wait to see you finished blouse.
ReplyDeleteRegina, thanks, and I am so glad I stumbled on too it. That stinks on the sizing, because it does run a little big too.
