Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I love the Alexander Blouse, but I should have read the instructions before beginning! There are lots of mistakes in it, there is a shoulder-seam where it should not be, for example, and the button-holes are going into the wrong direction, and …
But I love it! I finished it in summer and wore it often, so when I wanted to publish it, it needed to be washed and ironed.
The fabric is a wonderful light batiste, the buttons are vintage. I found them in Waltraud’s fabric store shortly before they closed. I miss her and the store so much!

Love love love this version of Alexander blouse!!! And it looks just fine, even if there are mistakes they are not visible, possibly due to the print. Great job!!!
