YAY! I am super excited to have finished Simplicity 1722, the ruffled blouse pattern from 1944:
I'm wearing the blouse with my 1941 trousers and my hot pink Ness shoes.
I ended up going with the hot pink buttons (Thanks Sarah!)
Overall, it was pretty easy to put together (but time consuming!). The ruffle was super easy and hemmed it by hand. The only alteration I made to the pattern was to take in the shoulders a bit. Now all I need are some shoulder pads to really complete the look!
The only thing I was worried about was the topstitching and the buttons. Though my buttonholer did give me some problems, I think it looks pretty good!
And of course, it goes perfectly with my new snood!!! Though I took the bow off the snood today because I thought it might be too much--even for me! (hehehe)
I really like it! I'll have to try out the other blouse options on the pattern as well! What do you think?
