Blouse for the Holiday Social Whirl

Decided, based on a Holiday Sew-Along thread on Ravelry, to make up another sleeveless blouse from my vintage Advance pattern, and now it's mostly done (I think the shoulders are still a bit uneven). I may need to bite the bullet and finally get a new sewing machine, as I had to redo most of the seams on this one by hand. Luckily it's a nice enough fabric (silk) to cover a few faults in the construction. Knot buttons made from the same fabric.

ETA -- I still have a couple of feet of the silk left over -- any suggestions for what to do with it?

I think the rest of the silk is going to be a lining for a hat -- my dad wants one of those Victorian smoking caps (he likes hats generally).
