Blouse

This is the blouse I made using New Look 6187.  I used cotton poplin for the main body and a patterned cotton for the trim...

 
 
I shortened the length by four inches, I don't like blouses that come too low over my hips.  I'm not sure that I'll ever wear it.  Firstly, I don't like the colour.  Also, I don't like cotton blouses.  And lastly, even though I made the size 14 (UK) it feels a bit tight across the shoulders.  Finally, why the hell did I make it!!!  All I can say is, it was good practise and I enjoyed the process.  I will probably make another one in a drapier fabric but I won't do this type of collar, there is a boat neck version in the pattern.
 
Ok, so on to the next project.  I have some polyester crepe that is more my type of blouse fabric.
