Butterick 5464
Pattern Sizing: 14-20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? SUPER easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This pattern was very close to my inspiration pattern.
High Neck Ruffle Top
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added a ruffle to the collar.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I want to make this blouse again. I LOVE it!!! I highly recommend this blouse.
Conclusion: Great patter!!! Very well drafted. A great addition to my wardrobe.
Here are some additional pictures:
I went with clear buttons because it was hard to match the pink.
I did a rolled hem on all the edges. Took FOREVER, but it was totally worth it.
To make the ruffle, I cut one strip on the fold that was twice the length of the collar and gathered it up so it would fit. I LOVED the outcome. I felt extra girly in this blouse. I LOVE it.

This is beautiful! And as usual, the shoes are hot. Now I have another pattern to add to the wish list.

OMG, this is so awesome! I am actually not a huge fan of ruffles, mostly because I don´t need extra fabric enhancing my bust, but I am soooo tempted to make this…
Love the whole outfit!

I love this top Adrienne!!! I also love the fact that you paired it with a gray skirt. Pink & gray are a classic color combo for me! Loves it!!

Fab! I bought this pattern for that version but I never thought about the ruffle at the neck. I’m going to have to steal that.

I love this outfit on you. It looks like you’ve stepped off the runway. I’m feeling completely jealous as it is still snowing here today in Montreal.

Hot outfir, I love this on you. The top does look like a lot of work, but as you say, totally worth it!
Denise @How Mama Got Her Swag Back/ 22.03.2011
HOT! I am so in awe! I am afraid of rolled edges, so you just made me want to try one. I got my eye on a couple of patterns for me and the baby girl for Mother’s Day.
Cynta/ 22.03.2011

I have to add yet one more BEAUTIFUL comment! This blouse is absolutely gorgeous on you…beautifully made!!! You want to make one for me too!! LOL!!! I’m adding this one to my list!

You are so adventurous. To meet people you’ve never seen just from tweeting. I probably would have worried about whether or not I was meeting a club of axe murderers. I guess I read too many mystery novels. Your blouse looks just like the pattern. Is that fabric that you bought without a pattern in mind? Those shoes are perfect and so colorful.
Linda L/ 27.03.2011
Great looking blouse. I like the idea of using clear buttons and ruffle at the top of the neck band.
Tany/ 02.04.2011
That’s GORGEOUS, Adrienne!!!
