Guthrie & Ghani Leana Blouse Size

Hi all!

I am new here and want to ask if anyone has made the Guthrie Ghani Leana Blouse, and if so, is it a good idea to size down? When I look at finished garment measurements, it seems a bit big... I bought a kit with a linen viscose fabric which has a good amount of drape but it is not a very thin fabric, so I wonder if the blouse will feel a bit overwhelming on me...

Ooh that’s a lovely blouse, I haven’t made it but I think this might be a case of preference, it looks like it’s supposed to be quite oversized and floaty, so I would just make sure you have enough room through your hips/bust/waist to create that floatiness, but you can size up or down as you prefer

Thanks so much for your reply. This helps me. I will make it in a floaty viscose first, in the size I believe to be suitable to my taste.
