I like the way you simplify the blouse. Great job!

That is a great top and such a beautiful fabric too.

Wonderful explanation of raising the neckline and using fewer pieces.

These two versions of #615 really appeal to me. The explanation of what you did to adapt the pattern are good, but I am still a bit perplexed regarding the waist casing. Did you use both foldover elastic and a 1/4" strip of elastic or is that an either-or situation?
