Blouse and sleeves are too long. I cut all parts about 6 cm. V-neck is to wide, it start to overlap at the same point. They should fix it cause it's nice project, I'd like to sew this blouse once more but not with this pattern-it's damaged. It's seems to be for person about 4 inches taller! I'm going to tell Lekala about it. <br />I devoted for this pattern very rare fabric given by my mom, it could be so nice blouse:( I'm trying to fix it the same way as you did ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752139979284027370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244469611060222035.post-54970498042488951282017-06-30T18:00:20.284+03:002017-06-30T18:00:20.284+03:00Thank you Eli!Thank you Eli!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972029287872749366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244469611060222035.post-75657721885958495252017-06-30T17:17:22.500+03:002017-06-30T17:17:22.500+03:00I love the top!

I measured the 2 sides and they seemed to have the same length... also there is no mark ( or at least I didn't find any ) as how those 2 side should overlap... To be honest I am at lost as what was really wrong here - the pattern , the measurements and alterations that I requested, the fabric, or just my personal taste....those this is my second deep V Lekala that is gaping badly so I think I should stay away from them !?!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972029287872749366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244469611060222035.post-45610418471345209602017-06-29T05:30:40.091+03:002017-06-29T05:30:40.091+03:00Did you tell Lekala there was a problem with this ...Did you tell Lekala there was a problem with this pattern? If you do their may be a chance they will fix it. I love the style of this top and you did a great job saving it.

So I will probably just let this one go and try new ones!Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972029287872749366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244469611060222035.post-21479548280309503522017-06-28T16:34:46.905+03:002017-06-28T16:34:46.905+03:00It's such a fun style, it's a shame that t...It's such a fun style, it's a shame that the fit didn't turn out as you like. I think you should persevere and give it another try. It looks like you could take a dart out of the neckline tapering into the armhole. I've not tried Lekala patterns; they do always seem to have some great details, but the one size is a little intimidating.Elizabeth Made Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611395530073290874noreply@blogger.com
