I really love this Vogue pattern! I made this blouse from a quality pima cotton and it has cuff links that I purchased from Thomas Pink. The pattern is a Today's Fit by Sandra Betzina, V7903.
Today though, I ask this question... do we really need to use muslin? I was at the fabric store this evening to purchase a piece of muslin for an upcoming project. A piece of 48" wide muslin was $4.98 per yard. The 108" wide muslin was $14.98! I am designing my first sun dress and I plan to cut the skirt on the bias. This is going to require a fair amount of wide fabric. As I stood in disgust at the thought of spending $30 just to make a prototype, I caught a glimpse of the remnant fabric department. $2.98 per yard for anything! The decision was made very quickly. I bought a piece of basic non stretchy fabric and I will be making my sample prototype from this instead.
