On May 22nd, she released an entire collection of patterns. This is one of them. Ann's patterns cover sizes 2 - 26. Be sure to check her website to see them all. http://designerstitch.com/ Prices on the website are in Australian dollars and will be much less in US dollars with the current exchange rate.
I tested the Julie Blouse. I applied to test the pattern because I loved the style of it. It had a surplice front and a longer back (to cover my rear) and a loose fit.
The pattern, when printed, went together perfectly. The pattern pieces were clearly labeled.
The instructions were mostly easy to follow. There were a few that were tricky, but Ann was very helpful assisting when I did not understand an instruction. She has revised the instructions to make them clearer.
For my top, I used a poly/rayon blend fabric I've had in my stash for a very long time. It's soft and silky feeling. I'm thinking I'll try another one in a voile.
Here I am in my Julie Blouse.
I love the long back!
There is a back center pleat giving some extra ease.
The back easily covers my backside.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my top. This is a pattern that I will definitely use again.
