Yes

If not, why?

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I didn't like that the yoke was not lined. I fixed that by cutting two yokes and lined the shirt. Much neater finish on the inside. I love the way all the pattern pieces fit together perfectly. Some collared shirts do NOT line up properly, but this one does fantastically!!!!

Fabric used

Cotton and cotton gauze

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

Due to it being fall/winter, I lengthened the sleeves to below the elbow. I also eliminated the frills on one of the blouses I made. I lined the yoke on both shirts for a neater finish on the inside. For the purple gauze blouse, I made a belt to go along with it.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

I made 2 blouses out of this pattern for the swap and am in LOVE with this pattern!!!!
