Absolutely beautiful - considering how much I disliked the pattern when I first saw it! Your version is stunning and suits you so well. Thank you for your detailed review too xxx
I love that fabric,it goes so well with that design,it looks lovely on you Rachel😊
Looks lovely on you Rachel, the colour is perfect on you, gorgeous xx Alison
Thank you - new scriber here and have a beautiful binge of your vids
That is the best colour I've seen you wear..and I love your other colours! You look great!
The first time I’ve seen a version of this pattern that I liked. Your version is lovely, I had totally dismissed it as too frilly and young, thanks for the great review. Tilly should be paying you!
Super ! Lovely fabric and pattern pairing
Thank you Rachel it looks great.
When I first saw this pattern I just thought it was hideous! But I have seen some very nice ones being made. I agree with you about the ruffle overload.
Yours is beautiful Rachel and such a great choice of fabric.
Love the tucks! The color is beautiful on you too…
Hello stranger! Well what a gorgeous blouse, couldn't believe this was a Tilly pattern when I saw your thumbnail but it's absolutely lovely, so nice to see her making a more complex pattern! Hope you and the family are all well Rach xx
Hello my gorgeous friend! Yea we’re all good miss your beautiful face xxxx
So lovely. It's perfect and you look great!
Such beautiful top on you!! The fabric and style are perfect!! I agree that I probably wouldn’t have purchased it either based on photo. 😊
A fabulous review Rachel.. yes I too had totally dismissed this pattern. Yours is stunning .. I love the tucks , not sure if it would suit me at all still but I’d absolutely love to make one just for the tucks 😊
The blouse looks great on you. Nice review.
Your version is gorgeous Rachel and I'm now thinking of buying it, I too was put off with the photos on the pattern and agree with everything you've said. Just of late a lot of tilly photos have not been appealing, it would be nice if she included older models too. I bought a blouse very similar to this the other day and love it.off to look for some lawn now. Thanks for the video x
Beautiful and love the fabric ❤
I thought exactly the same when I saw the pattern, defo not for me! BUT you have changed my mind. Love your version, it’s stunning 😍
This is a gorgeous version of the Marnie, I like you will be leaving the ruffles off the sleeves, I’m in two minds about the dress, there’s part of me considering hacking it to put an elastic in the waist to give me some shaping.
That fabric you have chosen is just gorgeous x
Your version is stunning! I love the print. This reminds me of something you would see in April Cornell or Sundance RTW. I ❤that aesthetic.
Looks lovely on you. Cheers Mary
I would have never even given the pattern a second look. But seeing how you did it, I would definitely give it a try. Your version is simply stunning. I’m not a ruffle person, but I absolutely adore the collar.
It's gorgeous and the fabric suits you so well! I always appreciate your honest reviews.
Love thiS blouse on you. You look so radiant. I have had the same thoughts as you on this pattern until seeing your. ❤
Thank you for this pattern review. I am totally with you as in I looked at the front of the pattern and thought no not for me but then I saw yours and thought wow...so maybe i will try if it can look like that! It looks great on you . Love the fabric. Thanks again x
Great review. I have watched a couple of times now and am going to order the pattern thanks x
Hi Rachel, so glad you reviewed this. I know you also subscribe to the Sew Hayley Jane boxes and this was the pattern in the luxury box. When I saw it i was disappointed as I thought this was not a pattern for me BUT seeing your make and the fabric you used has changed my mind so now feel I will eventually make this pattern. Love your make, you look fabulous in it
It looks wonderful on you!
I would never have tried this but after your positive review I may go for it. I am just not a frilly girl and when I looked at the pattern that’s all I could see. After your comments, I think it might be something that I try.Thanks for doing this
I'm with you, the envelope is not appealing to 55 yr old me. But your blouse really is stunning. The color is so beautiful on you and you have done such a lovely job. I still don't think its for me, but I'm prepared to say 'never say never' since seeing your version.
Love your version. You look lovely. I have not purchased the pattern, but it’s going on my wishlist 😊
That blouse is gorgeous and it looks fantastic on you. The color is perfect.
Yes, I thought the same thing but now I will try. Thanks
Such a beautiful version of this pattern, thanks so much for your detailed review. The fabric you've used is so pretty. I think I'd like to try this top. I feel the same, not sure the dress would be for me xx
I think this version of the Marnie is beautiful! I agree that the cover shot on the pattern isn't the most alluring but having a look at all the makes has inspired me to give it a go. I haven't done tucks for years so it'll be nice to use this technique again and I love that all the little elements can give each version something unique to go with - using them all on the one top is a little overkill however, using them separately would make each very elegant. I'm measuring at an 8 currently but haven't used a Tilly pattern before. With 15" of ease I'm tempted to size down as I am working on reducing my size anyway. As for the dress, I can see the top part with a Nicks type bottom as a beautiful boho style dress that might be more appealing to those of us over 25. I still like to see my waist being pear shaped and I know it would look like I'm wearing a frilly sack without some sort of waist definition. Great review.
Just gorgeous. The ruffles around the shoulder put me off the pattern too.
First, that fabric is absolutely gorgeous and the tucks are beautifully done. I would love to do tucks. I think the pattern looks great on you!
The combination of fabric and pattern is so beautiful on you. You look radiant ❤
Totally agree 🌻🌸
Gorgeous Rachael! I completely agree with you about the styling, but when I saw Tilly on you tube going through the pattern I was sold on it, but the pattern sleeve styling isn’t good at all. Love Debra’s as well! Fabulous, thankyou for your review, I do have the pattern and intend to make it soon. 🥰😘XXX
The fabric you have chosen is perfect for this pattern. Similarly to you I didn’t like this pattern but then saw some lovely versions. I still won’t make it though as already have 2 fabulous blouse patterns from the Big four, plus Tillys Matilde blouse that has pin tucks. I haven’t made any of them yet so can’t warrant another pattern😆 Good review Rachel and looks lovely on you 😊
It’s gorgeous! Looks stunning on you too
I'd dismissed this pattern out of hand because I didn’t like the shoulder ruffles or the length of the dress, but your version of the blouse has made me reconsider. It looks easy to style up or wear with jeans, and as you say, you could wear a cardie with it as it turns colder. I think that would be much harder with the shoulder ruffles. Really helpful video, thank you!
Me too! But now I really like it. Thank you Rachel.
Absolutely! My first thoughts exactly ... No! when I opened my SHJ box last week, but now I am so looking forward to making it in the beautiful Gold fabric in the box.
Love your Marnie, the fabric is so lovely and the colours are perfect on you. Thank you for such an honest and thorough review. 😊
I love your blouse and the color is great on you👍👍😘.
I am so glad I watched this as I was just like you and wasn’t particularly taken by the pattern when I saw it originally however I absolutely love this version, it looks so lovely on you and so now I’m thinking what fabric to make mine in 🤔 Thanks for sharing xx
Colours really suit you
Omg !! I love it!! ❤I didn’t like the look of it on the pattern pics , but wow, your version is gorgeous, might have to add this to my todo list . Thanks for sharing x
The sensible review until the scatty one is published
- spot in review as ever my lovely xx
Hi Rachel…. Glad to see you back looking gorgeous and rested! Thanks for casting a better light on this pattern with your styling suggestions! I love the details you added and look forward to making one too! Thanks for all you do!❤
Totally agree with your styling suggestion as preference
I love this blouse on you and the fabric is a great color for you!! Looks so great 👍
That color is fabulous on you. Just beautiful.❤
I also took one look at the pattern when it first came out and decided that it wasn’t for me but your review has totally changed my mind! It looks absolutely stunning on you 🥰 and I now love it! I’m with you regarding the ruffles - they would be WAY too much for me with everything else. It’s on my ever growing list of things to do. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Hi Rachael, I agree when I first saw the pattern envelope I thought not for me, but your version and Debra’s version have made me rethink this pattern. Great review, keep up the good work 👍
Like you I was not very impressed with the cover versions - you’ve definitely made a lovely version x
Thank you, Rachel, for the review. I had completely dismissed this pattern but now I’m tempted 😊. Yours looks great ❤
Your make looks so good on you! I’m really short and petite and I’m scared i would look like holly hobby the blouse is actually a maybe now if I tucked it in I like this color on you
I think you've changed my mind 🤣🤣🤣 Was dead set against it and I'm all for ruffles. Love your version Rachel, I think you've nailed the fabric and pattern pairing. Great review of the Marnie too x
Luv the way you've sewn up this blouse.. like you I was not at interested in this when I saw the original images.. most likely for the same reasons you've mentioned that the ruffle and the pintucks with the gathering and the full sleeve is a bit too much.. also like that you've chosen a print with some solid spacing that allows for the pintucks to still be visible it gives you a bit more interest than just a solid color😄
That color. Becomes you!
Your blouse is really beautiful and suits you so much. If you like tucks, the Carme Blouse by Pauline Alice Patterns has a really nice front panel with tucks. I've made it ans really like it (although struggled a bit with the fit).
WOW that looks fab, and yes I would never have looked at making it from the pic on the pattern. The fabric choice is spot on to xx
I’d love to see some full length photos of you in this blouse. Thank you for your review! I do own the pattern, but had tucked it away because of the pattern photos. Now I realize I should try it and I’m already formulating hot weather hacks that I need to go note in my journal. 💕
Oh I loved your version, dare I say more than Deborah’s (sorry D). The fabric colour and weight is perfect and really suits you. I too am sceptical about this pattern but the ‘add an inch to the yoke’ modification is very helpful! Great tips and review, so thank you Rachel!
Great review, you are spot on. I feel the same about the pattern and you have inspired me to buy and make a version like yours. Lovely fabric too.
Perfect choice of fabric and print for the pattern Rachel, you look fabulous 🌸
Looks absolutely gorgeous on you, lovely blouse.
I think a lot of people have been won over to this pattern by Debra’s version - yours has convinced me that a patterned fabric can work too! I’ve got some Liberty lawn that I think will work. This will be a great Autumn transitional garment.
I agree with everything you said about this pattern. I thought it was not a style I would wear as it was too fussy.
However, your fabric choice is spot on for yours and it is beautiful!!! I might be swayed now Rachel. Thanks for showing your version.
💙💙 I love how yours has come out 😍
Ahh your blouse turned out beautiful and I love all the tucks. I think you are right about the fabric choices on the envelope, I was in the totally dismissive camp too but seeing yours and other peoples makes on IG has made me want to have a go. I can not wait to see your next version too xx
Your version is lovely and I agree with your sentiments, when I saw the 'Marnie' it reminded me of the 'Bertie Shift' by Liberty (or McCalls!!) and I dismissed it, I have found a few of the new releases are similar to patterns already out there, I plan to make the Bertie again and think I will hack it to include tucks as they are the feature I like best in this pattern. Your fabric is also fab and thats the beauty of a large stash, being able to act quickley, I did smile at you saying it was a slow make at 4-5 hrs but its all relative.
It looks beautiful, thank you for your review ❤
Dreamy blouse.
Thanks for this review Rachel.. like you I thought NO it’s not for me BUT your version is gorgeous, love it. It is going on my to make list. Your looking really well too xx
Your dress/nightie comment really made me chuckle 😆 Your version looks stunning and it really suits you. I'm not convinced yet as I'm time poor at moment with a little one so have to really love a pattern to invest so much time in it.
Hi Rachel, I’m so pleased you gave this top a go and did the review. I was definitely put off when I first saw it and thought it wasn’t for me! Yours and Debra’s looks so different from the pattern images and styling and it really suits you. I just love the fabric and color on you😍Thanks for all the tips and sizing info. You always do a great review ❤️
I have to say you look fab in this blouse. It really suits you. I put ruffles on a sweatshirt i made but with my ample bust had to take them off again. I think they are a bit to much. Love colour on you to.
I like the blouse. You did a great job.
Ooops, think I might have to make that pattern. Love it and the fabric you used is beautiful.
Great blouse.enjoyed the video
That is just gorgeous! I hated this pattern when I first saw it and then saw Debra’s and like you I changed my mind but still wasn’t 100% sure. Now I have seen yours too I am actually thinking I might make it. I too will need to lengthen it as I am 6 foot tall and I definitely won’t be doing the ruffles. I am looking forward to seeing your next one!
Love that colour on you Rachel and a really pretty blouse 👌💞. I probably wouldn't make it for me, as I'm short with an ample chest and high necks tend not to suit me sadly 😥. I would love to make something with the tucks though...maybe I'll try the technique out on something different 👍. Adoring your version however 💝😁😘
This looks lovely on you: much nicer than the versions on the front of the packet. I am thinking of making it with short sleeves - not adding the extra bit - and maybe finding some way to increase the neck space, so overall it would be cooler and kess likely to overwhelm me.
❤️❤️
I really like your new blouse. The colour is great on you and your tucks look impeccable. I'm currently having the same doubts towards the pattern that you had, but not having a formal wear type job anymore I don't think I would get much wear out of it, even if I made the changes you mention (I'm 5'9).
I love your Marnie but I’m still not convinced it’s for me. Thanks for sharing 💙🧶🌈🍓

I too had dismissed this pattern I think all the features together like it is styles on the package is too much for me but looking at the dress with the more simple styling I am slightly tempted. I do like yours with out the shoulder ruffles too.
Thinking of doing this pattern soon just unsure on size to go for.
Haven't yet watched the video. I LOVE IT! I THOUGHT IT WAS going to be fu-fu.
The blouse looks lovely! The print goes really well with the style of the pattern. I couldn't see the potential on the pattern envelope either. Still not sure I need Marnie in my collection but I'm much more inclined towards it after seeing yours and Debra's. Speaking of tucks and boho... Have you thought about the BHL Tamzin? That would tick those boxes as well. It's been on my to-sew list since it came out, but something is always getting in the way. I enjoy my slow sewing, but sometimes I envy your speed. ❤
I have that pattern Nimue and it’s in my to do list definitely!
🇨🇦😃
Rachel, I love the blouse. Great job modifying the pattern. Question...if I add to the yoke to make it longer, as you suggested, do I add to the arms eye? Or...do I add to the yoke and take away the same amount from the lower front piece?
Suzanne
What did you use for the button closure for elastic
It’s just a rouleau loop of the fabric 😊
I love this top on you but its still not for me.. Love your fabric choice too... Beautiful
Love your blouse, and your honest review. That yoke depth issue is similar to the Sage Brush Top for me but it does look lovely on you Rachel. Thank, Susan x
