Gentle Readers,
Muslin first, finished garment second
Thank you all for your help on the fit. At the end, here’s what I did:
- narrow shoulder adjustment
- added an inch to the bicep
- rounded shoulder adjustment
- swayback adjustment
- added 1/2 inch across the upper back

Mimi was right in that my upper back is probably more developed from yoga and swimming than I realized. Once she pointed that out, those back measurements made more sense.
Also, I like my cuffs wider so they will slide up my forearm further when I stretch. Widening that helped me feel less restricted too.
Oh, the buttonholes on the pattern are a little over two inces long. My new Kenmore doesn’t make them that long automatically. So, I just made the largest buttonhole it could.
I did manage to sew up one buttoned cuff the wrong way. But, no one but you and I are going to know that.
This is a great pattern. I love, love, love the double cuffs. I love the long buttonholes. I love everything about it. But, I’m sick of sewing it! I was going to work on another blouse. But, I am taking a woven blouse break.
Hello,
I’m looking for this burda. Would you sell it ?
Yours,
Nathalie
