Notes I liked the pleats and the shape of this blouse. It is not difficult to sew BUT there is one step (4 and therefore 5) that is not explained and it's very illogical with the pattern. With this step, you make one of the pleats. Luckily my friend had encountered it on a Lekala pattern before. So you are supposed to sort of tuck it into itself. I tried to show in the pictures.

I made adaptations to the pattern. I shortened the blouse by about 8cm (front) and 6 at the back. I also deepend the pleats on the back. I moved the shoulders about 2cm towards the neck because I looked like a broad shouldered bear. It helped a bit.
Last, I shortened the sleaves so the cuff would sit in my elbow.

I will make this again if only because I did quite some adaptations and I do like the pattern.
