Tech. Description

Collared Asymmetric Button-Front Blouse

When To Wear

With slim trousers or a pencil skirt for the office: the diagonal button line is the only detail, so plain bottoms work best.
Worn loose over leggings or narrow jeans in spring and autumn.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose through the body, widening towards the hem.

Length: Below the hip, with the longest point of the asymmetric front hem at one side; the back hem is straight.

Collar: Pointed shirt collar on a separate stand, open at the front in a V formed by the crossing fronts.

Front: Separate right and left fronts, each with its own placket turned to the wrong side and topstitched along a marked line. The right placket runs diagonally from the neck to the side hem.

Closure: Five buttons on the diagonal edge, with buttonholes in the right placket and buttons on the left front.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves without cuffs, hemmed; sleeve and side seams stitched in one pass.

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

Finishing: Seams overlocked; hems of body and sleeves turned 1.5 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Two different plackets on an asymmetric opening, a collar enclosed in a two-piece stand, buttonholes along a bias edge.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (plackets, collar, collar stand)
5 buttons

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: Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm; other seams – 1 cm. Attention! First, 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 account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Interface pieces with fusible interfacing.
Overlock the inner edge of the left placket. Place the left placket on the left front, right sides together, and stitch the neckline edge. Clip allowances, turn the placket to the wrong side, and press. Topstitch onto the main piece along the marked line.
Place the right placket on the right front, right sides together, and stitch the neckline edge. Clip allowances, turn the placket to the wrong side, and press. Stitch the left front to the right placket, overlock allowances, catching the free edge of the placket. Smooth out the pieces, topstitch the right placket onto the front along the marked line, securing the left front.
Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Place the upper collar on the lower collar, right sides together. Stitch the ends and outer edge of the collar. Trim seams. Turn the collar right side out, shape, and press. Place collar stand pieces right sides together, insert the prepared collar between them, align edges, and stitch, simultaneously stitching the ends of the collar stand. Start and end stitching strictly at the marked line of the collar stand attachment seam. Turn the prepared collar stand right side out and press. Stitch the upper collar stand with the collar into the neckline, turn under the open edge of the lower collar stand, and topstitch into the seam of the upper collar stand attachment.
Set sleeves into open armholes, press allowances and overlock. Stitch side seams, simultaneously with sleeve seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Overlock the bottom of the garment and sleeves, press to the wrong side, and topstitch.
On the right placket, make buttonholes; on the left front, sew on buttons.
