I'm always attracted to shapes like that, as they create the illusion of wider shoulders (which I don't have).

To add to my last comment - deep-ish red fabric, thicker perhaps a satin twill weave, and a smidgen lower on the neckline, and a teensie bit less width on the cut-on sleeves would look fab on you (especially as you've already fitted it on your <b><a href="http://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/2011/02/corazones-rockabilly-blouse.html" rel="nofollow">Corazones Rockabilly blouse</a></b>) already s'easie peasie!Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-59009744589287266742012-03-08T16:08:13.280+00:002012-03-08T16:08:13.280+00:00My vote goes to view C of Butterick 8614 (the blu...My vote goes to view C of Butterick 8614 (the blue blouse with the bow trim neckline). V. cute, View B of the same pattern is my next fav :).<br /><br />Plus view C - with an added tulip/wiggle skirt made into a dress - or a separates, with retro-style a matching fabric covered belt would made a <b>lovely wedding dress</b> for you in red! As separates you'd get more wear out of it post-wedding (if you initially made the blouse quite fitted for the wedding, but with wider seam-allowances on the side-seams, you could then let it out 1-1/2" all the way around for a more every-day fit afterwards!). :)Claire (aka Seemane)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05175575205044308437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-14818582381292399632012-03-08T14:16:19.212+00:002012-03-08T14:16:19.212+00:00I love all of them, but particularly that first on...I love all of them, but particularly that first one, it's lovely!

I think I'd do view 3 (pictures in light blue) in a cute floral and maybe use a dotted print for the collar?

A button down just looks more put together. Only one warning about the 40's style one, as I made one last week, if you don't clip to the dot at the shoulder all the way, you can get drag lines. Good luck Zoe, these will be great for spring.Vintage Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427588530532828527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-80839941878148567892012-03-08T13:27:43.588+00:002012-03-08T13:27:43.588+00:00I've sewn the simplicity 2601 pattern.

Predictably, the first three are my faves. I've made two 30's blouses similar to the 1st early 50's one and the print one definitely gets more wear than the plain one. I can see you rocking a print version. Don't want to tempt you or anything but if ever a fabric had your name on it this is it: http://www.misformake.co.uk/product/navy-anchors<br />I love the Rizzo blouse and can see it looking fab in gingham like on the cover. On the third pattern, view 2 is my fave, maybe in a solid colour with contrast piping and interesting buttons?<br />Right, might have to stop there or I'll take up all your comments space.
