Good instructions and a lot fun

I made view A with the big bow. As per the suggestion I made a 16 and graded to a 20 at the hip/waist; and I did an fba of about 2cm in total. I made a muslin and adjusted from there; and my wearable toile has another lot of feedback for me too for my third version of the shirt - I think I might make a left and right side for the pattern for myself. My right bust is a little bigger than my right bust and it's pulling the button placard out of alignment.

The video sew along is super helpful, especially for the covered button placard, but the instructions are great at stepping you through the tricky bits. I also needed all of Cashmerette's instructions for how to grade a princess seam; and how to do a fba on a princess seam. I love my Swanton and I'm excited to make more - I think for the next version I night grab the Vernon, I think? And put long sleeves on it.

If I had my time over again for my wearable toile, I'd put much less stiff interfacing in the bow fabric. It feels very out of place in the flowy rayon I made it out of.

This is my first princess seam; and the first thing I've made from Cashmerette. I'm pleased with the outcome!

Involved but easy make

This blouse was a delight to make and easy to fit. The directions were well written. I will make it again.

Fit as per the instructions!

I made the pattern as per the instructions with NO changes and it fit perfectly! Not having to do a FBA is a game-changer and the reason I will continue to buy Cashmerette patterns

beautiful blouse

I have made both versions of this blouse and love them both. The fit was perfect with the only adjustment needed was to the cuff on the long sleeve version. I had to extend the cuff by an inch for a more comfortable fit for me. I love Cashmerette patterns as they make my curves look good. Keep up the good job, Jenny.
