When To Wear

In spring and summer with straight or wide trousers, jeans or a long skirt.
For daytime events and holidays, worn loose over the waistband.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose through the body; bust darts on the fronts.

Length: Hip length, straight hem.

Collar: Stand collar of two layers, one interfaced, with rounded ends at the front.

Front: Centre front seam with a short open slit below the stand collar. Lace front edge trimming is stitched along the centre front edges and topstitched to the fronts; a separate lace band is topstitched onto each front, following the markings.

Sleeves: Three-quarter set-in sleeves gathered at the cap. Each sleeve is made of an upper part, a lace inset and a lower part. The sleeve seam is left open below the inset as a slit, topstitched 0.1 cm from the fold. The lower edge is gathered and bound with bias binding that continues into ties.

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

Finishing: Hem turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Applying lace bands and lace trimming along a centre front seam, a stand collar, pieced sleeves with a lace inset, and binding a gathered edge with ties.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibres. Lace fabric for the front trimming, front edge trimming and sleeve insets.

Additional Supplies

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: Hem allowance – 2 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).
