See my finished Rivi blouse and hear my honest thoughts on my second make of this gorgeous blouse.

This video is a detailed look at my latest sewing project. If you have been considering making the Rivi blouse yourself, I cover the final fit, the tweaks I made to this second make.

I discuss a few fitting challenges I faced while completing the blouse to suit my own body shape and styling. You can then decide if this pattern is a good fit for your next weekend make.
