Collared Cropped Blouse With Button Tab

A women's cropped short-sleeved blouse with a turn-down collar, a deep V opening held by a tab fastened with one button, a centre front seam below the opening and turned-up cuffs.

When To Wear

In summer with high-waisted trousers, shorts or skirts.
Over a camisole or slip dress as a light top layer.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose body shaped with bust darts.

Length: Cropped, ending around the waist.

Collar: One-piece turn-down collar enclosing the neckline seam.

Front: V opening with a centre front seam below it. The front facings are joined the same way and topstitched to the front 0.5 cm from their outer edges, so the stitching outlines a long V-shaped panel. A tab set into the right neckline edge crosses the opening and fastens with one button on the left side.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves with a cuff sewn into a ring, folded double and turned up onto the right side, then hand-stitched at the sleeve seam.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Finishing: Hem turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Bust darts, a faced V opening with a tab, a simple turn-down collar and turned-up cuffs; no plackets or set-in pockets.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front facings, tab, cuffs, collar)
1 button

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 – 3 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
