When I made this blouse (the second attempt) I planned to make a skirt as well, because I bought what I thought was the same fabric during two different shopping excursions.

Well, turned out the print was the same, but the fabric was not. This blouse is made of the fabric from the second shopping trip. It is a drapey lovely rayon/polly blend. The fabric from the first trip is more sheer and stiffer.

Crappers, no skirt.

There is a pleat on the top of the sleeve, and I noticed that beneath the arm, the sleeve isnt shortened as it generally is in other designs so that you dont see the inside of the sleeve when wearing it. If I use this sleeve treatment again, Ill shorten the underside of the sleeve by as much as two inches.

Below are the back vent, and the front pocket with a pink button for decoration.
