When finished, this blouse will have puffed, wrist length sleeves. I haven’t attached them yet because I need to make organza sleeve heads. You can see stay-stitching around the armholes to stop them from stretching when the sleeves are sewin in. The collar ties also need a good pressing.
Fine polyester knit, organza for the interfacing. I decided to use organza because it's light but stiff enough to keep the puffed sleeves in shape. The centre front (where the buttons go) also has organza interfacing.

Gorgeous blouse! I just love the fabric, and the way you’ve placed the pattern. Great work.

Finally finished yesterday! The sleeves aren’t as puffed as I initially thought but I’m happy with how the organza gives the sleeves a nice shape.

Thanks. I bought it 3 years ago but couldn’t think of what to do with it. The pattern is actually meant for cotton fabrics but I really wanted to use this fabric.
