The Taffy Blouse project 2.0: This time, done right!

Description
The Taffy blouse from the Colette Sewing Handbook, this time made right! Sleeves and the correct suggested material included. I wasn’t sure about this blouse at first and thought the sleeves might overwhelm my frame, but it’s really growing on me. The secret to my success with this material vs. the first time I tried it? Spray starch. I starched the crap out of the material before I started even cutting!

I had the same concern about the sleeves, and had decided to try to use a slimmer sleeve pattern. Yours looks great though! Making me re-think my plans.

I’m glad I tried this one again, it’s miles away from the first version I made.
