Short Sleeve Waist Tie Blouson

A hip-length women's top with a front yoke, short set-in sleeves with turn-up cuffs and a concealed zipper in the centre back seam. Worn with a separate self-fabric tie belt at the waist.

When To Wear

In spring and summer with trousers, jeans or a straight skirt.
Belted for work or daytime outings, or left loose without the tie.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose body ending at the hip; the tie belt gathers the fullness at the waist.

Neckline: Round neckline finished with a fused facing (one front piece, two back pieces).

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves with a cuff folded in half lengthwise, attached to the wrong side of the sleeve and turned up to the right side.

Front: Cut on the fold, with a horizontal yoke seam across the upper chest and waist darts pressed upwards.

Closure: Concealed zipper in the upper part of the centre back seam.

Back: Two pieces joined by a centre back seam.

Waist: Separate tie belt, folded in half lengthwise, turned out and topstitched 0.1 cm from the edge all round; tied at the front.

Finishing: Hem allowance 2 cm, overlocked, pressed to the wrong side and topstitched. All other seams 1 cm.

Beginner. Few pieces and straight seams; the concealed zipper and the neckline facing are the only steps that need extra care.
