Here is a pic of how I interpreted this pattern. Because I read on some reviews that Ottobre patterns can often run short, I added a 6 inch long band to the bottom of the blouse. I saw afterwards that it wasnt necessary but I like the length anyways. I also found that the neck was cut too big IMHO so I added 2 box pleats at the front which gave it a nice drape. I also added a bow made from ribbon. I attached the bow with a safety pin so that it can be taken off for washing. I am really happy with how it turned out. I am still working on coordinating leggings so please excuse the pants I made her wear for the picture. :)
