Notes	Very easy make. It took an afternoon of cutting and sewing to finish. It is a good pattern for semi-sheer fabrics as the front is doubled and so is a bit more modest. I'm very pleased with it.

Thank you sshelagh. Great help. It keeps my project still doable.

Hi editasena,
It certainly is an issue with this style. I checked my blouse and found that I added a few hand stitches to the underlayer, attaching it to the top layer where it can't be seen. This still allows the top layer to be loose without exposing bras. I added the stitching at about the breast level. Definitely a casual summer delight not suitable for the office!
Hope this helps with your version.

Beautiful! I want to make one out of thin suiting fabric. How can you make sure that the front is not going to open up?

Sorry about the misspelt name. I'm using my phone and the predictive text is often determined to get its own way.

Thank you, Tammie. I love the fabric too. I wish I had bought more!
Best wishes and hope you have a happy and productive new year.
