The two fronts are joined at centre front from the hem up to the V point; no fastenings (pull-on style). Bust darts shape the front.

Level Of Difficulty

Fabric Recommendations

Choose lightweight fabrics with good drape for a comfortable and elegant finish:

Blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibers
Shirting fabrics

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing

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 – 2 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 2 pieces
- Placket – 4 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Placket – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Interface the plackets with fusible interfacing.
Stitch the darts on the front. Press the dart allowances upwards. Stitch the center back seam. Overlock the allowance and press it to the left side.
Stitch the shoulder and side seams of the blouse, press the allowances towards the back and overlock.
Place the Placket pieces in pairs right sides together and stitch their centre back seams, giving two full-length plackets. Press the allowances open. Place the two plackets right sides together and stitch along the outer edge. Turn the pieces right side out and press. Place the placket on the wrong side of the fronts and stitch along the front edge and neckline. Turn the placket to the right side, overlock the seam and press the placket. Fold the front pieces wrong sides together and stitch into the placket attachment seam from the bottom to the mark.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide, with 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, then fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold onto the main piece.
Overlock the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch. Attach the free-hanging placket to the front in two or three places with blind stitches.
