Looking for blouse pattern

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. Emily in Houston

There may also be one in the new Butterickcatalog 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 hereis 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 ahorizontal line across the upper bodice (it's more flattering to me, sothat's one of my favorites).
