Tech. Description

Long Sleeve Blouse Layered V-Neck

A women's fitted pull-on blouse with long set-in sleeves and a V-neck framed by a two-tier collar: an under collar and an upper collar, each sewn in two halves and stitched into the front neckline.

When To Wear

At the office with straight trousers or a pencil skirt.
In autumn and spring on its own, or under a sleeveless dress or pinafore.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted, shaped by bust darts on the front and waist darts on the back.

Length: Just below the waist, to the high hip.

Neckline: V-neck at the front, round at the back with a back neck facing.

Collar: Two stacked flat collar layers lying on the front along the V. Each layer is made of two halves that are sewn and turned before being set into the neckline and centre front edge.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves, plain hemmed.

Front: Centre front seam below the V; side bust darts pressed upwards. No opening.

Back: Centre back seam and two vertical waist darts.

Finishing: Body and sleeve hems turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Two collar layers must be sewn, turned and set into a V-neck together with the centre front seam; the shoulder seams are stitched with the front sandwiched between the back and its facing.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (under collar, upper collar, back neck facing)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom edge of the garment and sleeve – 2 cm. Attention! First of all, 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 details). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back - 2 pieces
- Front - 2 pieces
- Sleeve - 2 pieces
- Undercollar - 4 pieces
- Upper collar - 4 pieces
- Back neckline facing - 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Undercollar - 2 pieces
- Upper collar - 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing - 1 piece
