Sleeveless Asymmetric Panel Blouse

When To Wear

At the office, with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt, alone in summer or under a jacket.
For dinners and daytime events, where the front flounce is the main detail.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, shaped by bust darts from the side seams.

Length: Hip length, straight hem.

Neckline: Round, finished with an interfaced facing that is turned inside and hand-stitched at the shoulder seams.

Sleeves: Sleeveless; armholes finished with 4 cm bias binding turned to the inside and topstitched.

Front: One asymmetric piece. The flounce is cut double, stitched along its long edges and turned; its short edge is topstitched to the front and covered by an interfaced strip (placket) that runs vertically to the hem. The upper edges of the flounce are caught into the shoulder, armhole and neckline seams.

Closure: Slit at the top of the centre back seam, closed with one button on the right back and a bias rouleau loop set between the back and the facing.

Back: Two pieces with a centre back seam.

Finishing: Hem turned 1 cm and 1 cm again and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Positioning the flounce and the topstitched strip accurately, a faced neckline with a slit, and making a narrow rouleau loop.

Reinforce pieces with fusible interfacing.
Stitch bust darts, press allowances upwards.
Serge the center back edges separately. Stitch the center back seam from the slit mark to the bottom, press allowances open.
Fold flounce pieces right sides together and stitch two straight long sides. Turn the flounce right side out and press. Place the flounce on the front and topstitch the short section between the marks. The allowance of the short section is directed towards the center.
Press the longitudinal placket allowances to the wrong side. Place the placket on the front and topstitch along the long sides, covering the flounce allowance. Secure the flounce and front allowances at the shoulder seams, armhole seams, and neckline. Press the flounce folds.
Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch shoulder seams of neckline facings, press allowances open. Serge the outer edge. Place the facing on the right side of the garment and stitch the neckline. Clip allowances, trim corners, turn facings to the wrong side and press. Hand-stitch the facing to the shoulder seams.
Cut a bias strip 2.5 cm wide and 10 cm long for the loop. Fold the strip in half lengthwise right sides together and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim allowances close to the stitching, turn the strip right side out and straighten the loop. Adjust the loop length. Insert the loop between the back and the facing, hand-stitch.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 4 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise right side out and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
