Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

Choose a medium-stretch knit for the main body and complementary silk fabrics for the contrast details:

Medium-stretch knit fabric made from natural or blended fibers (for the body)
Silk fabrics made from natural or blended fibers (for the sleeves, stand, and plackets)

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (for the stand collar and plackets)

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 for the blouse - 2 cm, all 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are given on the right side.

From knit fabric:
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Back – 1 piece
- Cuff – 2 pieces
From silk:
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar stand – 2 pieces
- Right placket – 2 pieces
- Left placket – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar stand – 1 piece
- Right placket – 1 piece
- Left placket – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
