Tropicana Shirt Sewing Pattern

Better Than Line Drawing

This was a fun project to work on.........until I got to the collar. Not happy with the results on that. However, the blouse is much cuter than I expected. Loved the raglan sleeves; specially the little vents.

Beautifully designed and a pleasure to sew

The design and fit on this pattern are wonderful. My measurements are high bust 41 full bust 45, so I made a short-sleeved size 18 (with size 20 sleeves) grading up to 20 at the waisté I was amazed at how well it fit. The pieces came together well, and the top stitching gives it a professional-looking finish. Even the collar, with all the different seams (2 pieces in the raglan sleeves) came together neatly and tidily despite the fact that I used a solid cotton with little stretch. I'm impressed! When I got a bit stuck (the slit for the sleeves), the online sewalong showed very clearly how to proceed and answered all my questions. This is the first WBM pattern I have tried, but I shall definitely make another Tropicana... and other patterns from this designed. A big "wow" from me! I only wish that ALL the WBM designs were available in the paper format. :)

Very good value. Clear instructions
