New Sure-fit Designs Blouse - HELP!

I had to work at the store this morning, so I only had the afternoon to sew.

AND, my husband is on his way home so I have to start dinner,

BUT, I want to ask your opinion about this top.  I LOVE this fabric, and I LOVE the style, and I LOVE the SFD Fit, BUT

I can't decide if I should put

Pink Buttons
or
White Buttons
or
Black Buttons

What do you think would look best?  I even thought about covered buttons.

It will have sleeves tomorrow, but for now it looks like this.  Notice the 3 buttons.  Pink covered button on top -- then black -- then white.





This really is a new style.  Notice those princess lines right across my bust and up both sides of the back.

PLEASE leave me a comment.  I love it when you comment.  Sorry, but I really have to dash down the stairs and start some supper for my sweet husband.

Hugs, Joy

  1. The blouse looks great. I assume you used the SFD bodice blueprint. You did a great job. Saying that - black buttons!

  5. Now that I actually paid attention and saw the buttons, I'm changing to the covered button.

  6. Kids just left, so I finally have time to answer your question. I say the covered buttons. Second choice would be the white, but not the black.

  12. I have to change my mind too. I didn't see the buttons at first. The covered one looks great.

  13. I've been following your blog for a few months now [since I found SFD] and really enjoy reading it. I think the pink covered buttons are perfect. Thank you for your lovely blog thoughts and good luck with your leg.

  14. Thank you everyone. Pink, it is. I did not have any pink buttons, so I tried covering one. I must order more coverable buttons. They really do look nice. Phylly is making some for her latest jacket.

  15. I like the pink covered buttons first, white second and the black as my least favorite because of the poke a dot background on the fabric. The blouse looks wonderful so far, can't wait to see it with sleeves.

  20. Love this fabric! Only last week I saw a similar up-market shirt, and what really grabbed my attention was how they used a different button each time - all tied together with a silver theme. They had 5 same sized, same silvery colour, but different buttons down the front. I though it was a great quirky idea to use when we just can't make up our minds as to which one style of button to pop on ... off to have a peek around your blog ... J

    1. Hi Judith!
      Thanks so much for the comment. I have seen that before too. Problem for me is, there are no stores closer than an hour drive from me, so I have to use what I have on hand.

  21. I am so late to the party, but I love how the black buttons reference the black polka dots in the fabric.

  22. Love the blouse. I would use covered buttons taking my fabric from a matching area. Definitely not white (looks "home-made).
