Lace Trim Wrap Blouse with Side Ties

When To Wear

At the office with a pencil skirt or tailored trousers.
In spring and autumn for dinners out, with the side tie knotted in a bow.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted wrap, no darts.

Length: Hip length.

Neckline: Deep V formed by the overlapping fronts; front edges and back neckline bound in one pass with 4 cm bias binding folded in half and topstitched along the fold.

Closure: One tie is sewn into the left side seam, the other into the edge of the right front; they knot at the side. A rouleau loop in the binding closes over a button at the V, and the inner front is held by a hidden button and buttonhole.

Sleeves: Long, one-piece, set-in; hems turned 1 cm twice and topstitched.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Finishing: Lace trim 2–3 cm wide caught into the binding seam along the outer front edge; garment hem turned 1 cm twice and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Simple pieces with no darts; the curved bias binding with lace, ties and a rouleau loop inserted in the same seam needs care.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

2 buttons
Lace trim 2–3 cm wide (approximate length marked on the front pattern piece)
Bias binding 4 cm wide, ready-made or cut from the fabric

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: all seams – 1 cm. Hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve bottom – 2 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). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back - 1 piece on fold
- Front - 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Belt – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Fold the belt piece lengthwise in half, right sides together, and stitch along the long and short sides. Trim allowances at corners, turn the belt right side out, straighten and press.
Stitch side seams, inserting one of the belt into the left side seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Cut a bias strip 3 cm wide and 5 cm long. Fold the strip lengthwise in half and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim allowances, turn the piece right side out. Adjust the loop length.
Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the length of the front edges and back neckline + 6 cm. Fold the bias binding lengthwise in half, wrong sides together, and press. Fold the binding with the front edge, right sides together, and stitch, inserting the right of the belt, the rouleau loop, and the lace trim. Fold the binding to the wrong side, clip allowances at the curve, and topstitch along the fold onto the main piece. Press the seam.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock. Set sleeves into armholes, matching notches. Press and overlock allowances.
Fold the bottom edge of the garment and sleeve by 1 cm, then another 1 cm, and topstitch.
On the left front, make a buttonhole, and sew a hidden button opposite it. Sew a button for the rouleau loop.
