    Pattern Name/Number
    Du Barry / DuBarry 2321B
    Pattern Description
    Short-sleeved cotton blouse with optional overall skirt.
    Which view and size did you make?
    Blouse
    Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
    Yes
    If not, why?
    -
    Were the instructions easy to follow?
    Yes
    If not, why?
    I would definitely say this pattern requires some intermediate to advanced skill, not so much for the sewing but for the implication of prior knowledge/experience in the pattern instructions - quite a bit was assumed. Considering that, the blouse itself was rather quick and easy to put together.
    What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
    Like: the femininity and little ruffles around the sleeve cuff and collar
    Fabric used
    Pima Cotton
    Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
    1.) Added 3 inches to the hem - the size 4 was perfect for my daughter's 5/6 measurements except for the length.

    2.) Instead of narrow hemming the trimmings (ruffles), I folded over a 2-inch long strip of fabric and starch-pressed it and then used my Ruffler Attachment

    3.) Added iron-on interfacing to the button plackets.

    4.) Machine-stitched the bottom - 1/4" turned hem.
    Would you sew this pattern again?
    Yes
    Would you recommend this pattern to others?
    Yes
    Any additional comments
    For the intermediate/advanced seamstress to accomplish alone or for the beginner who would have a tutor at-the-ready.
