It's the modern twist on a vintage vibe blouse.
Options include:
- Billowy or straight sleeves
- Gathered or darted bust
- Plain or pintucked bodice
- Short or long cuffs
- Round or Pointed collar
It is also part of The Blouse Collection - 4 patterns for one price (40% off regular price!!) - click on the blouse to bring up my blog posts for each blouse!
- Very Vintage Blouse
- Madison Blouse
- Brielle Blouse
- Riviera Ruffle Blouse
It can be worn alone as above - I paired it with my hacked Slim Cargo pants - to show all the proud sewing you have completed.
Since making Rebecca Page clothing, I have gotten really good at plackets, hidden seams, and all the professional touches each pattern teaches me.
I opted for the gathered bust, plain front, regular collar, and normal sleeves as I was running low on time and wanted to ensure my blouse making skills were still intact.
I really love the gathered bust, as it showcases such a feminine vintage flair within the blouse.
You can also office it up by adding a sweater vest - yes, I just said sweater vest.
I've given up being freezing when I'm in the office. And I felt my hacked Vivianne Sweater from Halla Patterns was appropriate.
The back is a bit wonky - I actually made a centre seam and took it in 1" on either side as the top was too billowy at the back for my liking. I should of stopped just below my waist, as you can see, my hips aren't too keen on keeping the back down. Meh - it still looks good and is SO comfy.
Fabric - some random shirting fabric I got for making a shirt for Husband - but he dug his feet in (he's SO picky with clothes and is a weird shape), so I am just using his fabric.
Fair is fair.
See the side view where the gathered bust area is - LOVE!
And the armcycle is comfy and not too tight - my biceps seem to be hulk like with some patterns (bust size doesn't always equate to proper bicep circumference with slimmer fitting sleeves).
Oh Rebecca, you certainly do know how to woo a woman!
I really do wish my life had background music so I could tell what the heck is going on - but until that technology happens, I'll sew on - will you sew your Vintage Blouse on too?
***Affiliate Links Above used - I love these patterns, and without the help of those who love their patterns, marketing would be extremely difficult for the pattern makers we love and learn to love. Affiliate links help with the hours, fabric, and tears that go behind testing each pattern in order to provide a real-person view on the patterns for you (and me!)
