What to do?

This is one of my all time fav blouses.  I sewed from scratch last year. The fabric is cotton. The design is a background of muted blueish gray and beige with an over print of arabesques.  The buttons are shell.

 It fits really well in all dimensions except for one. It  needs to be 2 inches longer.  I've been pondering how to add to the length with a simple, attractive detail at the hem.

While searching for possibilities I noted Zappos is offering this simple white cotton blouse by Kate Spade.  

The perfect solution!   A  2 inch self ruffle, gathered at a 2 to 1 ratio. 

Thanks for watching, result to be posted soon. Iris
