Notes	I did receive the fabric free of charge from ‘a friend of a friend’, who quit sewing. I did use the pattern as it was. However, I made a vest out of it, instead of a blouse. I made a small dart at the buste. As I have a hollow back, I made darts at the back. Must say, the collar was far more then odd, and far too short, as well as the stand collar (check my pix). Instead of trying again, I was happy to abandon it, and made the apperal colarless. Fully lined in Tassal lining, creating a pleat at the center back to give it some more ease if needed. Made use of the ‘Rabbit buttons’, which are my favorite kind. I am happy how it did turn out as a vest. As I have a bit of fabric left, I decided to use this piece to create a matching skirt.
