Tech. Description

Long Sleeve Ruffled V-Neck Blouse

A hip-length women's blouse with a V-neckline and a cut-on stand collar gathered into a ruffle, a front that overlaps and is stitched closed, and long set-in sleeves with cuffs.

When To Wear

At the office under a jacket or cardigan, with trousers or a pencil skirt.
Tucked into or worn over a skirt for daytime and dinner out in spring and autumn.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, with no darts.

Length: Hip length, straight hem.

Collar: A stand collar cut in one with the fronts and continued around the back neck. The neckline is gathered on three parallel rows of stitching, so the collar edge forms a ruffle along the V and around the back.

Front: No buttons. The right front laps over the left at the centre line and is topstitched in place from the right side along the markings; the front facing edge is secured inside with blind stitches.

Sleeves: Long, set-in, with a slit at the lower edge topstitched 0.1 cm from the edge, finished with interfaced cuffs.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with a back neckline facing.

Finishing: Front facings joined to the back neckline facing; hem serged, turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Stitching a cut-on collar together with the facings, gathering the neckline on three rows, a sleeve slit and cuffs.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (cuffs)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front - 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front facing – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing - 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Cuff – 2 pieces
