Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose-fitting shirt, worn over the trousers.

Length: Mid-thigh length, with a hem curving up at the side seams.

Collar: Stand collar in two layers, the outer layer interfaced; the ends meet the top of the plackets, leaving the front open.

Front: No opening at the front: the garment is pulled over the head through a V-neck slit edged with two interfaced plackets, folded in half and joined at the base of the V. Bust darts at the side seams.

Back: Back cut on the fold, with an inverted pleat at the centre below a back yoke.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves, sewn into the open armhole before the side seams; the underarm and side seams are stitched in one. A slit at the lower edge bound with a bias strip of the main fabric.

Finishing: Interfaced cuffs, each closed with one button and buttonhole; the hem is turned up and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A V-neck placket with clipped corners, a two-layer stand collar, a back yoke with an inverted pleat, bias-bound sleeve slits and cuffs with buttonholes.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibres, shirting fabrics.

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: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 1.5 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

- Back Yoke – 1 piece
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece

- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Stand Collar – 2 pieces
- Cuff – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
Form and secure the inverted pleat on the back. Stitch the back yoke to the back, press seam allowances upwards and serge.
Stitch the darts on the front, press the dart depths upwards.
Press the plackets lengthwise in half, wrong sides together. Stitch the plackets to the front along the long edge, stopping 1 cm from the bottom. Clip the front seam allowance at the corners, stopping 1 mm short of the stitching line. Tuck the ends of the plackets inwards and stitch them together, securing the bottom edge. Serge the seam allowances.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the blouse, press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Place the stand collar pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer edge, starting and ending the stitching exactly at the stand collar attachment line. Turn the stand collar right side out and press.
Stitch the outer stand collar to the neckline, turn under the raw edge of the inner stand collar and topstitch it into the attachment seam.
Cut a slit in the sleeve along the marked line. Cut a bias strip from the main fabric 4 cm wide and twice the slit length + 4 cm long. Fold the bias strip lengthwise in half and press, then press the outer seam allowances towards the center. Bind the sleeve slit with the bias strip.
Set the sleeves into the open armholes and serge the seam allowances. Stitch the sleeve underarm seam and the side seam in one continuous seam. Press seam allowances towards the back and serge.
Fold the cuff lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch the short ends, starting exactly at the marked line for attaching the cuff to the sleeve. Turn the cuff right side out and press. Stitch the outer side of the cuff to the bottom of the sleeve. Turn under the inner side of the cuff and topstitch it into the attachment seam.
Serge the bottom edge of the garment, press it to the wrong side and topstitch.
Make buttonholes on the cuffs and sew on the buttons.
