Description
i can’t believe it’s finished. i’m not sure if i lost more nerves or as i’ve been told “made some new connections of my braincells”. anyway, this was a in many ways very frustrating project but i think all the work paid off in the end. this is by far the hardest thing i ever sewed, mostly because of the confusing directions and all the preparation work – there are points labeled a-z on the pattern that all have to be marked (somehow there are a few i didn’t even find out how to use). anyways, while there are a couple of places that don’t look the same on the pictures on the showstudio website (where you can get the pattern for free) i’m very proud and feel like i own a designer garment and it’s probably one of the nicest pieces of clothing that i ever owned.

This is really beautiful. Well done. How long did it take???
It looks designer – well worth the long slog! I would love to attempt something like this in the future when I have more confidence.

It looks like it requires a lot of work and love to make it. Bravo!

Amazing! The back feature is so well crafted, enhance the waist line beautifully (have you lost weight may I ask?) The fabric (and conception) makes it a very couture garment to cherish for ever!

Absolutely great! I know the pattern and am dreaming of it to make. I only think that my sewing skills and my patience will both have to improve. And I never found out what size it is. Can you please tell me? I love the colours of your blouse.

Awesome job! I’m speechless.

oh, congratulations, you should be very proud indeed. i always wanted to make-try this, but i was worried that it’s really just a size 8 – which i’m not – and I would never be able to ever wear it in the end.
