Made by Me Sheer Blouse

I am loving the 80's-style big billowy blouses this fall, especially the necktie ones like these:
(Gucci)
(Chanel)
(Marc Jacobs)
So I made my own from this vintage pattern:

At first I was annoyed because chiffon is a pain to sew, but as I went, taking my time and being very careful, the thing started to come together. When I first tried it on, I thought it looked awful. The nude sheer fabric looked like a shirt made of pantyhose! But after finishing it up and properly styling it with a vintage black silk cami underneath and this Made-by-Me black pencil skirt, I'm now really liking it. To self: Well done!
