Take the #1 version of this blouse, and convert the jewel neckline to a scoop neckline. You just need to draw in your new neckline with a french curve and also make a new facing. (for instructions on how to do this, check out the new Built By Wendy Dresses book). I'd make a muslin to make sure the neckline isn't gaping. If it gapes, you'll want to make the neckline a little smaller by taking little pinches out of your pattern in a couple places. Don't forget to do the same to your facing! Does that help?Gertiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314542159287533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-34830968039640775462010-02-18T09:08:15.202-05:002010-02-18T09:08:15.202-05:00I want a shirt that buttons down the back now.
