Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, sleeveless, pull-on top with no fastening.

Front: Three panels. The centre front is cut on the fold from eyelet fabric; the two side fronts are cut from the main fabric. Lace trim 3.5 cm wide runs from shoulder to hem between them, with each panel topstitched onto one long edge of the trim along the marked panel seam line. A paper template is included for cutting the trim to length.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no seams.

Finishing: Armholes bound with a folded bias strip 4 cm wide, ready-made or self-cut; shoulder and side seams pressed towards the back and overlocked; hem turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Straight topstitching of the lace between the front panels, bias binding at the neckline and armholes, and simple shoulder, side and hem seams.

Fabric Recommendations

Cotton blouse fabrics of natural or blended fibres for the back and side fronts; eyelet (broderie anglaise) fabric for the centre front panel; lace trim exactly 3.5 cm wide.

Additional Supplies

Lace trim, 3.5 cm wide
Bias binding, 4 cm wide (or cut from the main fabric)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, then the patterns include seam allowances. If the contour is single, then the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: hem allowance – 2 cm. Other allowances - 1.0 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.

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Side front – 2 pieces
From eyelet fabric:
- Center front – 1 piece on fold
Lace Trim Template – 1 piece (paper template for cutting the lace trim to length)

Sewing Instructions

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

Overlock the panel seam edges of the Side Front and Center Front pieces. Topstitch the lace trim onto the Center Front, aligning one long edge of the trim with the marked panel seam line. Topstitch the Side Front onto the other long edge of the trim, aligning it with the marked panel seam line of the Side Front.
Stitch the right shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Cut a bias strip 4 cm wide and as long as the neckline + 4 cm. Fold it in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Place the binding along the neckline on the right side, leaving tails at the ends, and stitch. Clip the allowances, turn the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along its fold. Press.
Stitch the left shoulder seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Cut (unless using ready-made) a bias strip 4 cm wide and as long as the armhole + 4 cm. Fold it in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Place the binding along the armhole on the right side and stitch; turn the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along its fold.
Stitch the side seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
