This Butterick Pattern from the late 60s was to be my ‘Back-to-School’ outfit. As you can tell, I’m a little late for that. I did get the blouse done in time for Halloween, however.
I omitted the pointy sleeves but kept the pointy collar. I have not started the jumper as I am afraid I will look like a sausage! I thought it would look just lovely for Halloween with my retro suit from the thrift store. I have some other thrifty finds on my blog if you would care to check it out. Happy Halloween.

Feliz Halloween!besos!
Ooh love the pointy collar!
Haha Your Halloween costume is pretty scary, er, I mean, funny!
The neckline and collar on your blouse is one of my favorites. It is a flattering shape and style for me (full-busted, ok, I’ll say it, matronly), but I like it on all figures. Do make the jumper! I don’t think you will look like a sausage, especially if you make it in a balanced plaid and cut it on the bias. Nothing beats bias cutting for flattering fit, IMHO.
