It's been a looong time since I've been on the discussion group. I've been asked to make a square dance skirt and blouse. The skirt is a short 6 gore with a ruffle around the bottom which is pretty simple. The blouse is a peasant blouse with puff ruffel sleeves. What silhouette should I use to create a peasant blouse? I'm using the latest version of DS.

There is a loose jersey peasant blouse in one of the collections under comfort fit blouses

Or you can select a comfort fit shell under blouses, and udner Mia select a peasant neck, adjust the sleeve ease as desired.

Thanks! I don't seem to have the jersey peasant blouse for some reason in my menu. Maybe it's something that I need to purchase? Anyway, I found that there was an option with the unfitted shirt for a raglan sleeve and peasant neck. That might work as well.

To find the Jersey Peasant Blouse, you need three things:

1. A recent version of the program. Not sure which one it appeared in, though.

2. In the File - Settings dialog, check the box labeled "Show not-yet-enabled patterns in menu for previewing". That will show every pattern, whether you own it or not. You can draft it and decide if it is one you want.

3. Look in Patterns - Blouse - Comfort Blouses.

It should be there...

Ah! I found it and ordered the pattern set. Thanks!
