Ruffled Blouse

I love this blouse! It took me awhile to get past the ruffle down the front placket (the directions were none too clear); after that, it was a breeze. I was almost done last weekend and would have finished it 3 days ago if I hadn't come down with the flu. The pattern is Simplicity 4077. It's one I already owned and have used before (another view) and have my fabric for the next version (no ruffle). I did leave out the darts in the back and front but can add those if I ever lose the added weight. The material is like silky cotton; I'm sure it's polyester. The buttons are from Jonnie's stash.











I included a close-up of the print. I thought of Anna when I bought it; it seems like something she would choose.
