笔记	Bought this fabric as deadstock, just 1,5 meter for 1 euro. But I immediately fell in love with it. Very difficult to work with, as it is featherweight, and on top op that the lace is very stretchy. But once I decide, may come hell or high water: I will not rest until I have as what I have seen in my minds’ eye. In order to be able to create the collar, I made use of a black, very thin satin. Used this as well to strengten the pat to be able to create buttonholes. The buttons I bought ages ago were fine to match with this blouse. As I seldom wear short sleeves, I decided to create long sleeves (the original pattern, but some wider and elongated). Made the sleeve-head much wider to create pleats. Did create cuffs without any buttons or buttonholes: the fabric was stretchy enough to get my I wrists trough it. Made a small pleat at the back (barely visible). I cut the front in one go with the side part (as I barely have a waist) and there was no necessity to have seams. So the blouse is in fact a rectangle shape. Note: I did elongate the bow, as I like it much longer than given in the model. I did use part of some fabric to measure. I ended up with double the length minus 20 cm.
