笔记	‘Made to measure’ pattern. It fits, but I did alter some: the pleats (front and back): I made 6 pleats at the front, and 3 pleats at the back. In my opinion it is undoable to make the hem as mentioned. So I cut along the pattern hem in one go. I made far more buttonholes and buttons than given in the pattern. Mind that this is a loose fitting blouse. Something odd is going on with the collar, the blouse itself is far more wider than the collar. As it was already cut I just had to go along and make the best of it. The cuffs are too wide, so I narrowed it down by 3 cm per cuff, and made them slightly higher. The fabric for this blouse is kind of a satin, a leftover as I used it for the lining in my ‘Old drapery series’: Lekala 2019 coat, Lekala 4626 Jacket, and Lekala 4339 Waistcoat (all listed).

Blouse looks great!.
I have learned with Lekala's patterns that I only cut the collar when I have sewn the bodice parts together and measured the length of the collar

I see what you mean about the collar, it looks off indeed. But honestly, if you wouldn't have told, I wouldn't have known. Great result!
