Hi Gini, I really like this top! I love the color and style. The neck does appear to be too wide, if you don’t want your bra straps showing. This neckline shape is very flattering😊, and the sleeve length looks fine to me. That little slit at CF is a nice design element too! I’m so happy I decided to go back and watch all of your videos🤗. Great video!🩷
I always stay stitch the neck before I sew anything else. This stabilizes it and helps to make it sit better and not stretch out. You could always use thin strips of interfacing or similar as well.
I think it turned out nice although I don't like the cuffs on the sleeves I like more of a 3 quarter sleeve. I think the neckline will be fine if you throw it in the washer in the dryer. This little blouse is screaming out for sashiko stitching I would've gone down the front both sides of the seam and a couple of rounds around the hem and you can even hit the neck up a couple of times. I like to do hands stitching I like that whole Alabama Chanin thing so it doesn't have to be perfect You could even use like a green silk thread. I realize I'm coming in a day late and a dollar short on this 1 but I have been going back through your videos and they are very very interesting. Someday I'm gonna have to come up to that fabric store.

Thank you! Maybe a traditional facing for this fabric? The fit looks great. I will check out OSKA!
Looks great from this side. Very lovely.
Thank you ! I think the blouse looks beautiful on you . Great tutorial 😊 I have the book I may try that pattern some time.

I really love it. Give it a wash? Maybe the neck will improve?
