Self-Induced Etsy Torture

GAAAA...why do I do this to myself?? This 1930s blouse is too too amazing and too too small, but I can't stop staring at it.  Thankfully, as I was composing this post, someone reserved it, thereby helping to ensure I don't accidentally click buy when it will not ever ever fit.  Happy Monday, all!

    I know exactly how you feel! I drool over too small things all the time thinking "well, I am losing weight" or "maybe it has some room to let it out!" lol, something even more lovely is always around the corner, though!

    What a stunning blouse--thank goodness it's reserved or I would have been tempted to buy it too :-)

    I would buy it if it was not too expensive, and cut two panels in brown material about six inches wide each, one to sew under each arm and down the side. I enlarged a dress that was too small this way. As long as the side seam and the underarm seam matched up, you would not have to take the sleeve off the blouse.

    Travels with Uncle Sam: great idea. Must keep this in mind for future blouses!! In the mean-time, I'm saving this image as an inspiring repro. idea!
