White Lolita Puff Blouse

Description

My second attempt at making a blouse, and it actually *worked* this time! XD The first attempt was *extremely* sorry-looking and is languishing in the scraps box as we speak ^^; For *me*, along with trousers/pants, they're the most difficult things to make :/

This was made from scratch, with a Peter Pan collar and broderie anglaise trim round the bottom, collar and along the top of the puffy bust bit. Fastens with 7 generic white star buttons at the front, has puff sleeves, and is fully fitted (princess seamed below the bust).

And my sewing machine makes weird buttonholes (*way* too tight...it breaks your fingers when you try to push the buttons through, they're that tight), so I had to find a way round *that* - and I came up with wetting the buttonholes with water, then pushing the buttons halfway through the holes (to their widest point), then letting them dry, then ironing them flat. This stretches out the buttonhole so they end up a perfect fit ^_^

Full-view, comrades! :D
