Congratulations! I just love it -- especially that first view. Although, the little bow on the second view is delightful, too!
Yours in Christ,
Shannon
I just love those button tabs!
How darling! I love the second view - what a feminine looking, yet comfortable looking blouse!
My favorite is the view with the buttons, too -- I can picture it in a lightweight white linen. (I should probably start picturing it in something from my stash, though.) ;-)
Any of those options would be a nice blouse to take on one's honeymoon...(if you could squeeze it in among all of the wedding sewing, that is!)

Love the outfit! Please post a picture when you're finished. I would love to see it.
God bless.
Love the pattern Laura. When you size a garment up, does that mean you simply cut the fabric larger than what the pattern is sized for??
Lynn, sometimes if the pattern is just one size smaller then I will just add a little extra fabric here and there as I'm cutting out, but in this case I will have to go up three sizes, so I will have to adjust the pattern itself before I cut out! I have a little experience with resizing but Mrs. Chancey wrote up some instructions that are very helpful if you ever want to try it: here.
Thank you so much Laura! I have a 1940's summer dress pattern that I need to go up two sizes on so this information is very helpful!
Blessings,
Lynn
