I decided to make my next project a plain princess seam blouse, using the pattern making software and my half size dress form for the muslim. Here it is with the facing on ...

I think the front neckline is too high, but aside from that, it seems ok. This is with the standard size 10 measurements, but I should be able to apply the same settings to my own measurements when I'm satisfied with the design.

I like working in half size because it doesn't take much paper, fabric or time to put the design together. OTOH, it can be hard to make the curves and is a bit fussy to sew. On the third hand, if I can get good at sewing fussy little pieces together, sewing a full size garment should be a snap.
