I've been using Ottobre Woman magazine for a good few years now and like it for it's easy to wear patterns. Their sizing is good as well, with a wide range, and the fit is a true reflection of what they state in their measurement tables.
I bought some lovely soft and drapey viscose blouse fabric with a busy print on it a couple of weeks ago, along with a few other bits and pieces, and chose a simple blouse design for Ottobre, issue 2/2017. It's designed with a soft viscose in mind so works well. I'm going to make another one in some cotton lawn that I bought (all from Jo-Ann in Southbourne, Bournemouth) but for the next one I will increase the depth of the back neck facing as it tends to pop out easily with the narrower width that Ottobre use, and there's no top stitching to hold it in place. I also changed the hem to make it a high/low one - I find these work well for my pear shape and confuse the eye at that crucial level.
With no collar or lapels, the blouse only uses about 1.5m of fabric depending on its width, so it's fairly economical too.
