I'm sorry your version (which is beautiful by the way) ended up a bit tight around the chest...that's strange! Maybe you have broad shoulders/back, even though you're a slim build? I have a large chest, but very narrow shoulders and back, so I think that's why the 2/3 size fit me. In shops, I usually buy tops that are a size UK 10 or 12. I hope this helps!?!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-43813492300266606112013-05-03T08:56:36.132+01:002013-05-03T08:56:36.132+01:00It is beautyfull!

I am starting to thing I may have trased the wrong pattern size...I used size 4, and I think that I shoul go at least one, maybe to sizes up. (you can see the to small blouse here: http://trollemors-hverdag.blogspot.no/2013/05/my-mathilde-blouse-and-giveaway.html ) That leaves me whit the biggest size! And I am not a big girl... (in my mind at least). I see you used size 2 and 3... may I ask what size you use in store-bought clothes? *pardon me...*Tonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418727568978024988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-29999202137821802942013-04-21T22:46:30.549+01:002013-04-21T22:46:30.549+01:00Brilliant, and yes this was what I envisioned in m...Brilliant, and yes this was what I envisioned in my head, although not what Katy did with hers.<br /><br />Gosh, how nice but slightly strange to think that 2 people I've never met, were talking about me!

So I pinned the fashion fabric and lining together, making sure to smooth it all out as I went along.<br /><br />Hope this helps, but feel free to ask as many questions as you like!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-6512547543102304762013-04-20T08:36:11.221+01:002013-04-20T08:36:11.221+01:00Great idea thanks!

Or did you treat it more as a lining and sew them seperatly? Thanks! <br /><br />New to your blog via Katy at Sleek Silhouette.

Why don't you make the tucks in your fashion fabric, then place it on top of your lining fabric and re-cut the lining accordingly?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-14561675813258017742013-04-19T21:10:22.304+01:002013-04-19T21:10:22.304+01:00Hello!

I am also intending to line the bodice, but have cut my lining the same size as fashion fabric, so think I've messed up there! :(Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-31271950335092961572013-02-03T10:27:20.550+00:002013-02-03T10:27:20.550+00:00I really love this pattern!

I have a (possibly stupid!) question re the underlining. Did you underline the front piece before or after making the tucks? I ask because I have the perfect fabric for this top and have already bought the pattern. My fabric is verging on sheer, and, after reading your post, underlining sounds like a great idea. Don't worry if you don't get a chance to answer, and thanks for the idea! :)Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891063381064955827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593765464158159022.post-18281756194407779202013-02-01T17:29:07.383+00:002013-02-01T17:29:07.383+00:00It's really lovely, Marie.
