It looks smart but comfortable too. I have always steered away from pussy bow blouses as I hate to feel trussed up around my neck. I am definitely going to give this one a go though. Having no closures I think this might be a good one for me to try viscose for the first time too. jennywrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867498584073110293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-78886858858964853842016-01-16T10:08:18.848+00:002016-01-16T10:08:18.848+00:00Fantastic blouse.

Good work!<br />We have been rewatching Midsomer Murders, and i the first episode 1997, an old lady of Badger's Drift is wearing a pussy bow blouse and tweed skirt. Clearly the PBB has had a revival since then when it was considered the epitome of old lady unchic! 18 years is a loooong time in fashion.MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-84278934638107130652016-01-14T14:27:22.923+00:002016-01-14T14:27:22.923+00:00This is lovely!
