Burda 128 sleeveless Blouse-Fern Cotton

Welcome Fern Cotton.  I ruddy love this blouse so much!  It's Burda 128 sleeveless blouse.








The fabric is from Sew Over It.  It's a really light cotton, I think cotton lawn.  I did mark when unpicked so there wasn't a great amount of room for error! Great to work with though!  The blouse itself I went for the size 10.  Burda produce their patterns in cup size C which seems to fit me fine so no need for that pesky FBA!  




The blouse is very long but that's great for me as I always lengthen by a good couple of inches anyway so no lengthening needed with this!  I did take out a good inch at the side seems - well graded it in as it's fitted at the hip for me.


The arms are made with bias binding.  It did take me a while to follow the instructions with the finish for this but got there in the end.  There are very few diagrams in the instructions to follow - be warned!  However I found it pretty straight forward to follow-I did make a muslim first though!


The buttons I got from the local market-cute!


I love this blouse and I'm now making a second one!
