I'm look for a pattern for a tunic type blouse with raglan sleeves and a
bound neckline. In clearing out some old clothes, I ran across a favorite
blouse of that type, which, to be charitable, is slightly undersize now, but
was very comfortable a few years and pounds ago and would like to replicate
it as closely as possible. I've been looking through the major pattern
sites and haven't seen anything that was either in this line or adaptable.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA

I'm not finding much right now with raglan sleeves. KwikSew
3567, 3120, 3045, 2993, 2874 or 3263 might give you a
starting point (Disclaimer: I don't like or recommend
KwikSew). Also, McCalls 5282 has raglan sleeves.
Since you still have the garment, why not trace it off and
make a pattern? Or, take it apart and use the pieces as a
basis for creating a pattern? Grading it up for a
new-and-improved size wouldn't be that hard.

And what size do you need? Whan my cousin's friend gave me all the fabric
in January, there were several patterns stuffed in there as well. I'm
certain there was a tunic, but IIRC, it has an opening at the neckline and I
don't remember what tpe of sleeves. It would probably be a 12, 14 or 16.
Ds is home for the weekend, but after he leaves Monday, I can look and let
you know the description.

Connie Crawford has one (B2107) in her xl-6x patterns at
http://www.fashionpatterns.com There may also be one in the new Butterick
catalog in the full range of xS to 6x -- I haven't seen the catalog,
but I seem to recall seeing the sample for the photoshoot.
Or you could take a blouse that you like and revamp it for raglan sleeves --
the changes are easy, but you'll want to make a muslin for tweaking purposes
(at least I always make a muslin for tweaking purposes). The advantage here
is that if you don't like the traditional raglan with the diagonal lines,
you can do stuff like a raglan-type sleeve with attached yoke to give a
horizontal line across the upper bodice (it's more flattering to me, so
that's one of my favorites).
