Love This Neckline!Reviewed by Barb (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/10/2022I stitched up the long sleeved version with the ruffled cuff option. I stitched a straight size 12 with A/B cup, shortened the body length by 3" and removed half the fullness of the back pleat. It fit perfectly! I am thrilled to not have to fuss with bust adjustments. I am stitching up a short sleeved version now with the same modifications. I will keep the back pleat fullness when I stitch a full length for ease through the hips. The neckline is very flattering, too!Was this helpful?Can't wait to sew it up!Reviewed by Julie (✓ Verified Buyer) on 12/30/2021I bought the pattern and some Liberty Christmas print lawn, and was going to make it up for the holidays.... and my sewing machine died! It will be back in a month, at which time I will make up the shirt. However, I have traced all the pieces onto tracing paper (not because anyone has to, but because I wanted to make sure I preserve the pattern in all it's sizes) and the pattern pieces are clear and easy to read. Same for the directions. I think this will sew up well, and I will update my review then.Was this helpful?Love the Style!Reviewed by Kathleen (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/15/2021I have been seeking just the right blouse pattern for me for ages. I don't like the classic shirt on me - the collar, button plackets etc so the uniqueness of this blouse was what attracted me and of course Liesl didn't disappoint! The sizing was perfect with bust cups and shaping through the body - I'm making more for sure and I've been fantasizing about even making it up into a light weight jacket.4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?My fancy new blouse.Reviewed by Erica Bishop (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/16/2021I made this blouse during Lockdown, and it entertained me for days! I bought some Liberty print fabric and the result was fab. I am really pleased with the result. I would advise you to check the finished sizes before choosing your print off, and print only that one. I was confused as to: was the sizing uk, European or American?7 of 8 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?In this video, Liesl introduces you to the Fitzroy Blouse pattern.
