... Because I'm procrastinating self-evaluation.

 A vintage portrait neckline blouse is up next. It's not Vogue. It's not VoNBBS. It's not the early 1950's....but has the correct neckline and the correct sleeves. The waistline darts can be converted later into pleats. The biggest style differences between the VoNBBS (Vogue 7630 -1952) and Simplicity 1590 is the addition of the peplum and the front button closure. Neither of these are deal breakers for this project.

I'm going to make View A and redraft the front for a FBA to a D-cup. I have a piece of lightweight summer cotton with a circular chenille design for the project and some simple plain white buttons.

Below is a photo just before cutting. The pieces redrafted are the front bodice for a FBA and the front facing has some length added to it because of the FBA. Otherwise, I'm going about this "as directed" by the pattern instructions.
