Mod Violet

by Reana Louise

in Modern Patterns

So this might be a modern pattern, but I think with vintage cotton and a leather skirt it’s pretty mod… Don’t you?

I was surprised how easy the Colette Violet was to put together because this blouse had a lot of firsts for me: First facing on a blouse, first collar, and first fabric-covered buttons.

The only problem is that it rides up from my underarm onto my bust. I’m calling it my mystery boob fold…

If you have any ideas on how to fix it or want to see more pictures, please check out the post here on my blog!

I think you could make a smaller size and that might solve the problem? It’s an adorable pattern!
