Construction
The Henrietta Blouse is worked flat and bottom-up, starting with the ruffled trim. An I-Cord edge and buttonholes are worked on one end of the body, along with waist-shaping increases that occur on the same row. After the main body piece is done, the armholes are shaped and joined at the shoulders. The sleeve stitches are picked up and worked using German Short Rows and stitches are picked up around the neckline to create a neat I-Cord edge.

This garment is designed to have 2-4” of negative ease.
If you are in-between sizes, size up for a looser fit or size down for a tighter fit. For example, if you have a bust size of 32.5” and want a tighter rather than looser fit, choose size 1. If you wanted a looser fit, choose size 2.
