I liked the look of this blouse on the pattern and it was fairly easy to make. It does feel a bit baggy when I tried it on. It doesn't have any waist shaping so I curved the side seam slightly to reduce the bagginess. I'll have to wear it a few times before I decide if it is just something to wear around the house or if it is suitable to be seen in public. I do intend to make the other version of it but will probably go a size down.
This fabric that I used is from Boyes . Boyes is a very useful shop, they sell everything! They have now even started selling dressmaking patterns. I will go there this week and check that out. The fabric is cotton and is nice and light, it might have some polyester in it, I'm not sure but it feels like cotton to me and irons at quite a high temperature.

I am making blouse A and don't want to make a yoke. Is this a mistake? i don't want to make the top stiffer and thicker than it already is. I'm using cotton/poly blend.
Thanks.
I don't know how you'd made blouse A without the yoke as it is part of the construction. However, give it a try, it might work.
