I made this 1940 pattern using 1950 vintage fabric. I found the fabric at a thrift store. It was a small piece but by careful layout during cutting, I managed to barely squeeze it out of the the 35" width.
The top has self-covered buttons down the back.
I love the fabric, and while it is a little more pastel than color that I am generally drawn to, I think it will be fun for Spring.

Oh, I LOVE this blouse and the fabric just makes it perfect!
That is a wonderful blouse. The design is so interesting and it is special that you were able to find some vintage fabric to use. It is really pretty.
I adore the neckline, very unsual. Makes the top a classic.
