I did not do buttonholes on the very narrow sleeve band. I added a snap and sew the button on =)
I'm pretty happy with how the buttonholes turned out.

| here you can see my modified facings |
The fabric is a cotton batiste from Metro Textiles which I bought on my trip to NYC during PR weekend a couple of years ago and it was a very easy fabric to work with. I made french seams because of the sheerness of the material, it is such a nice finish.
The skirt is Vogue 1247 which I made last summer and gets a lot of love from me.
The pictures are showing a bit of wrinkling in the sleeve head but there are truly none, I don't know why it showed that way.
This a great basic, I can also see wearing it layered over a tank top. I am now working in the shirt dress which uses this same pattern but adds vertical darts to the front and back, with short sleeves.
Lisette, this is such a great pattern. I love it in coral. What a great choice!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blouse! The colour is great on you. Y tambien me gusta mucho tu falda. Creo que la voy a tener que repetir en tela denim. Estás guapisima y tienes una familia encantadora. Felicita a tu mamá de mi parte!

ReplyDeleteI still covet your turquoise skirt! I must make one for myself! I've made that skirt before but in gray.
Lovely blouse and I really love the contrast between the two brights. Perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great outfit! I love the colors -- so perfect on you. Hope your mom had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteI liked that blouse pattern too. It seems like it would be quick to sew. That is a great color for you and it looks really nice with the skirt
ReplyDeleteI love your color combo here! The blouse came out really lovely; that little teeny button on the sleeve cuff is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful blouse. The colours are great on you. Your detailing so good too.
