When To Wear

This versatile blouse is perfect for a range of occasions, offering both comfort and sophistication:

  • Casual Chic: Ideal for everyday wear, providing an elevated yet comfortable look.
  • Smart Casual Gatherings: a fashionable choice for informal social events or relaxed outings.
  • Office-Appropriate: Easily paired with tailored bottoms for a comfortable and professional work ensemble.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a relaxed-fit blouse with a flowing silhouette, designed for comfort and ease of wear.

Neckline: a soft round neckline, finished neatly with bias binding for a smooth contour.

Sleeves: Short cap sleeves that gracefully extend from the shoulder, offering a light and airy feel.

Front Draping: Features a unique asymmetrical draped panel originating from the right shoulder, which sweeps across the front of the garment and integrates into the left side seam, creating soft folds.

Shoulder Details: Both shoulders are adorned with decorative tabs, each fastened with three buttons, adding a distinctive and stylish touch to the design.

Back: a simple, unadorned back panel that complements the complexity of the front design.

Hem: a straight hemline that finishes the blouse at a versatile hip length.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. This pattern requires skills in working with knit fabrics, creating pleats and draping, applying bias binding, and precise button attachment.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose fabrics with good drape, allowing the design's fluid lines to stand out:

  • Medium-stretch knit fabrics (natural or blended fibers) for the main body
  • Blouse fabrics (natural or blended fibers) for the shoulder tabs

Additional Supplies

  • Knit bias tape
  • 6 buttons

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: hem allowance for blouse bottom and flying – 2.0 cm; neckline hem allowance for front and back — 0 cm; sleeve hem allowance – 1.5 cm; all other seams - 0.8 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

  • From knit fabric:
    • Back - 1 piece on fold
    • Front – 1 piece on fold
    • Flying front – 1 piece
  • From blouse fabric:
    • Shoulder tab - 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. Hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Markings on patterns are made on the right side!

  1. Stitch darts on the front and on the flying, press seam allowances upwards.
  2. Serge the outer edge of the flying, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
  3. Fold and secure pleats on the flying (depths directed towards the center). Place the flying on the front, secure along the edges and treat as one piece thereafter.
  4. Stitch the right shoulder seam, press seam allowances towards the back and serge. Finish the neckline edge with bias tape. Stitch the left shoulder seam, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
  5. Stitch the side seams, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
  6. Serge the hem allowance of the blouse and sleeves, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
  7. Press the shoulder tab piece perimeter to the wrong side. Place the shoulder tab on the shoulder seam, fold the short sides to the wrong side and topstitch. Sew buttons onto the shoulder tab.
