Sewing: Black eyelet blouse

This is the second blouse I made, from McCall's 5138 pattern, using a black eyelet fabric and black lace on the front. I like this pattern, but the button placement doesn't work for me; I always have to add extra or it gaps in bad places. And the bottom is very curvy, unlike in their photo, which makes it tricky to hem. It has a good fit, though, the only change I made was to take it in at the waist a bit to make it less boxy.

It looks weird over long sleeves, but I was cold.
