Brown blouse with gathered neckline

Print Page

Description

The BWOF pattern 10/2005, #112. I slightly altered the sleeves - I lengthen them and made them bit wider in the wrist area and added cuffs. That made this puffy effect I like very much. The blouse is really easy for sewing, perfect for beginners.

It looks fabulous! Even better with the puffier sleeves! I have this issue and was considering making this but I wasn't sure what would happen if you left the neck untied. Do the gathers hold together or do they fall appart?

moving on to shirts

oh this pattern is on my list! I like the added cuffs a lot. And if it's a beginner pattern, I might have to look for the convenient fabric soon!

You have got to be one of the most productive members on Burdastyle. Every morning I see a new creation from you! And all of them are so well made. Great work!

Thanks, ladies!
peaudane: Well, the fabric I used has some firmness (even though it's thin and rather transparent), so sometimes I wear the blouse untied, and the gathers hold together. I suppose that fabric like chiffon wouldn't hold the gathers. And, I recommend adding buttons to the upper part of the blouse, since it opens as you move your body. I wear the blouse with some kind of undershirt.

Hey Ana, I am half writing my thesis half checking Burdastyle... this is great top. It really suits you. I very much like the whole casual chic feel of the autumn/winter wardrobe you posted recently!

Enjoying the Autumn weather

I have to agree with Polychromatin, your blouse is much nicer. The neckline is so sweet.
