Pattern for a peasant style blouse with 5 sleeve variations
Which view and size did you make?
I made view B (3/4 length sleeves)
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes

It looks liek the photo when on the hanger. Whe it's on a person the sleeves appear to be disproportionately wide
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
If not, why?

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I wasn't happy with the way this pattern fit when worn. It looked better on my daughter (who's much taller) but she felt the sleeves had too much fabric in them to be flattering and I had to agree with her.
Fabric used
lightweight cotton woven
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
If I made it again I'd use a different sleeve style or take some of the fullness out of the lower portion of the sleeves
Would you sew this pattern again?
No
Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes
Any additional comments
