Your blouse is so amazing. I am an absolute pushover for orange. Congrats, Ms. Thang, that is one hot & sexy number! I am in awe that you MADE it yourself.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the colour. There is definitely too much black and white out there and your blouse is the perfect antidote.

I think it looks fabulous!!! The sleeves are just fantastic! Give yourself a big pat on the back for persevering and turning out a great garment. I know that it’s sometimes hard to love something that doesn’t quite meet one’s expectations, but put it away for a couple of days, then look at it and be amazed at your skill and creativity.
“I have got to add in more adjustments on my clothes. That is… once I figure out how..” – do you have a community college nearby with a fashion department? Some of them offer weekend/night classes on how to make a sloper for yourself. It’s great to have a teacher help you to make the right adjustments, and then you can alter any pattern to your specs.
