I finished the blouse tonight. There were a couple of issues with this blouse, but they were easy enough to correct. The main thing was the hem problem that I
noted in my last post.
You can see the placket here, and I think it turned out pretty well. Again, the main thing here is to mark well.
The collar has a band, but mine didn't lie as well as I would like. I think it stretched a little out of shape. My fabric was so fine, that I probably could have used a light weight interfacing on the band and the facing instead of just interfacing one.
I really like the sleeves because not only is the bottom band a separate piece, it has a separate facing as well. This would be fun to do in a contrast color.
I'll try to get a picture of it on me tomorrow, since I plan to wear it to work.

Neat one, I didn't get that pattern but have a Simplicity that is similar. I have never done a collar like that before, but there's always a first time...
It's a beautiful blouse, well done!
