The body fit well, and the silk felt wonderful, but those sleeves? Too-short and too-gathered.
I cut off the cuffs, hemmed the edges, rolled 'em up and reused the cuffs and buttons to make little straps. A relatively quick fix to make this shirt wearable.

So love this style of blouse! Might have been a "simple" fix but it totally changes the look of it. And I'm obsessed with silk, so yeah, of course I love it! ;)
I agree that your simple changes have made a big difference to thge blouse!

Looks great and so comfy!
Nice job! Silk is so divine to wear.
Love it! Simple changes can make a big difference!
I have long arms and over the years have tossed many shirts because the sleeves were too short. I love your remedy. I will definitely use this idea. Thank you!
