HotPatterns HP1203: Fast & Fabulous Kimono Blouson T

Image
HotPatterns HP1203:  Fast & Fabulous Kimono Blouson T is another home run from Trudy at HotPatterns! I made this one using a lovely charmeuse which I think was a remnant from Haberman Fabrics a few years ago.  This is a fun, easy and clever design. No bust darts, but the slight front gathers at the hip band allow for the fullness needed. This fit perfectly out of the pattern envelope without any alterations....what a treat! Interfacing was used in the hip band and the sleeve bands from Fashion Sewing Suppl y. Yes, I still had to style with a sweater, since it was 25 F degrees here in Michigan this morning!  Spring.....where are you??? I'll be making this one again, I'm sure! -Patty
