I am having a glorious love affair with blues, sapphire, cornflower, and periwinkle, to be precise, and I wanted to be sure to add a few blue-infused items to my wardrobe.
I love how the blouse turned out! I only made one alteration: I gathered the pretty cap sleeves instead of pleating them. The rose-printed rayon challis I used was a dream to sew with and wears so well.
The Pendrell blouse is a really flattering pattern and I especially like the princess seams. It dresses up or down easily and washes up a dream!
This really is a great addition to my wardrobe. The different blues in the roses are so pretty and coordinate well with many different pieces in my wardrobe. I am happy that I have enough of this fabric left over to make a dress - Colette Oolong, methinks.

Super cute! I like those trousers, too-- did you make them?
Ahh, lovely rose print :)
This looks great, another on my to-make list!
Your sleeves look a lot smaller than I've seen on some other people- did you alter them to make them smaller?
@gingermakes - Thank you! Yes, they are my TNT trousers: Butterick 4452.
@Johanna - Thank you! Yes, I used the cap sleeves from View B on my version.
Lovely! I'm totally into rose prints right now, and Pendrell looks like such a great pattern! I'll have to make one up for myself, soon, too!
