Pattern Description: Burda 7726 Ruffle Blouse
Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 6
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are a breeze, all you have to do is gather and attach :)
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I did not dislike anything, it was a pretty good pattern, I made very slight changes.
Fabric Used: White Cotton
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I made the ruffle at the neck much shorter, the pattern is really tall on the neck and it bothered me so I chopped it down. I like the side zipper and the closure in the front neck band. The edges of the ruffle are serged which was pretty quick but I think if I ever did decide to do it again I will do narrow hems instead.
Would you sew it again? No it's a one time sew kinda blouse.
Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I think it is worth giving it a shot, it looks great with a high waist skirt ;)
Conclusion: it's a nice little blouse.
Pattern Description: Simplicity 2758 Blouse
Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 8
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions looked easy enough I really didnt use them :)
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the sleeves and the fit of this is really great considering it is fitted using darts and not princess seams.
Fabric Used: Cotton Shirting
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: None, I pretty much made it exact.
Would you sew it again? I think I may use this pattern many many times, I love the fit of the blouse.
Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I recommend both the skirt and the top, I reviewed the skirt a week or so ago, it's also in this pic.
Conclusion: Love It!
Great looking skirt! But that ruffle blouse is straight hotness! LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that ruffle top!!! Gorgeous! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the blouses and the skirt. I really like how you paired the striped blouse with the plaid skirt. It looks really chic!!
ReplyDeleteLove both blouses, I would love to see a pic of you wearing the ruffle one.
ReplyDeleteThe blouses are beautiful. I love the striped one. It's kind of a typical men's shirting, but you've made it feminine. Hope your kiddies are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Burda White blouse is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove them both, and am especially inspired by the skirt, since there's plaid in my stash!

ReplyDeleteThe Burda blouse is hot. I mean you could wear it with jeans, slacks, or a skirt. I like the simplicity skirt and top. I usually don't make a lot of skirts but that pattern made me think twice.
