I have just made this pattern for a fitted summer blouse with a shawl collar. My fabric is a spotted Swiss cotton sateen from Clegs, which I've had for about three years. After a few disappointing projects, I made a special effort to get the fit right, and cut a size larger at the bust but my usual size elsewhere. The result is a bit too loose fitting, yet the hips could have benefited from slight extra ease. The sleeves - which I made without cuffs - seem a bit too long and too full but not disastrously so. The neck is too deep for my liking, disappointingly. Nevertheless it's a wearable garment.
