I have to admit it is one of my favourite Burda patterns.

I think that the pattern is simple enough that the print doesn’t take anything away but adds and makes it fun and interesting. I would wear that blouse. Its beautiful.

Yes, that fabric does have mid-mod overtones, I guess that’s why I liked it so much! I still wonder what it would have looked like as a skirt, but then it wouldn’t have been mine, & I don’t like that idea! :D

Give the blouse a go, it has great shape & is very flattering. I’ve made it for other people too!

I like the print and colors of your linen fabric. I would say it is modern, but it may be mid century retro for all I know. I think your choice of a fitted blouse pattern with the larger print was a good one. It shows off your nice shape. That fabric in a loose blouse would make the wearer look big and shapeless. IMHO

Your daughter looks lovely in them, as do you in the blouse. I overlooked it in the magazine, but it looks great on you. I like the fabric pattern by the way.

Our dream house is on the market at the moment and just that little bit too far out of our range. Sigh! Next time! But you have been busy and with stunning results, as always. The dresses are gorgeous, and I absolutely love that blouse. I think the fabric/pattern combo is just wonderful. Love it!

Your daughter is lucky to have you sewing her such fabulous things. She’ll be the envy of EVERYBODY at school!
