A pattern for a summer blouse with raglan seams, cap sleeves, and a gathered, bias-bound neckline, in Euro sizes 34-42. Pattern link here.

I made this in a poly-blend printed voile, size 36. It is much much much boxier than the images led me to believe it would be. I am debating taking it in through the waist...

The pattern assumes you are using a very sheer fabric and instructs you to cut two layers. I did not.

The instructions for finishing the arm holes left a lot to be desired.... Maybe because I had attached the sleeves with french seams, but I had to reverse-engineer the look I wanted. I am pleased with the result, but not with the process.

The back neckline has a key-hole that ties (the ties are extensions of the neckline bias binding), a very cute touch. I may shorten the ties, though.

Once I decide how I feel about the width of this top, I will probably make another one. I think it would also make a super cute dress, lengthened and then finished with a belt.
