To celebrate my freedom from the prison that is MS Word, I started flipping through the Stylish Dress Book to service my need for some decompression sewing. Using style J as a guide, this baby sort of just came together. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon, if you ask me.
Not much to say, so I'll just show you:
The fabric was not especially fun to work with. A synthetic chiffon I used for my (vegan) sister's performance dress, it was quite prone to fraying, and difficult to mark and press for pintucks. Let's just stay there was much basting and stay-stitching involved.
But, man, was all that extra prep worth it. I am in love with this top.

Brilliant way to celebrate the result of hard work (having lived in one of those Soviet constructions for a good 20 years I should know hahaha)
Excellent work- not an easy fabric to work with! Well done

I don't know which I like more, your blouse or your photo of it! Congrats on a beautiful work of art.
