I absolutely adored this blouse when I saw it at Target! Then I tried it on at home. Ugghhh. On the hanger it really is a cute top. Many issues reared their ugly heads while this top was on my body so I chose to photograph the blouse on the dress form my sister and I made this past spring. The fabric used was polyester (along with the lining) and it made noises when I moved. To make matters worse the large plaid pattern on the front was not flattering to a rectangular shaped person like me. It accentuated the non existent waistline detail! Then to finish, the back view was even worse. . . . . it made my back look broad and rounded. However, I did like that the placement of the plaid in the middle did give an illusion of a smaller waist. I really loved the button hole neckline detail with the bow. Needless to say, I returned the shirt and went on the hunt for similar patterns so I can make one with a more appropriate pattern for my particular shape. My husband and I are going to Hawaii in the spring and I think the right fabric would make this a cute top for the trip.
