V-Neck Blouse with Layered Flutter Yokes

A women's hip-length blouse with a V-neck, short flutter sleeves and two folded overlay yokes layered over each front shoulder. The body is lined with a second layer of the main fabric.

When To Wear

Warm-weather days with trousers, jeans or a pencil skirt.
At the office under an open jacket.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, slightly widening towards the hem, with bust darts from the side seams.

Length: Hip length, hem turned under 1 cm twice and topstitched.

Neckline: V-neck at the front, round at the back, finished by stitching the lining to the main fabric along the neckline and turning it to the inside.

Sleeves: Short set-in flutter sleeves, lower edge finished with a narrow rolled hem.

Front: One piece cut on the fold. Two overlay yokes, each folded in half lengthwise, are laid one over the other on the shoulder area and basted to the front before the shoulder seams.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, no centre back seam.

Lining: Front and back lining cut from the main fabric; joined to the blouse at the neckline and basted at the armholes, lower edge overlocked and left free.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. A pullover with no fastening; the techniques are bust darts, a self-lining turned at the neckline and a narrow rolled hem on the sleeves.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics in natural or blended fibres, silk.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Seam allowances – 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment – 2 cm. Allowance for the lower edge of the sleeve – 0 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to consider paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back - 1 piece with fold
- Front - 1 piece with fold
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front lining – 1 piece with fold
- Back lining - 1 piece with fold
- Overlay yoke 1 – 2 pieces
- Overlay yoke 2 - 2 pieces

Stitch shoulder and side seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch shoulder and side seams of the lining. Serge allowances and press towards the back. Serge the bottom edge. Fold lining and main fabric right sides together and stitch the neckline edge. Clip allowances, turn lining to the wrong side and press. Secure main fabric and lining at the armhole edge.
