As a base I used the JJ pattern - I already have it fitted to my measurements and use it a basic shirt block. Very handy. I just left the sleeves out and added a long stripe for the pussy bow collar. I wanted to make it puffier but I ran out of fabric...
So next time bigger, better, fitter bow! I hope.
The fabric you may remember is one of my resent purchases. It is a bit transparent cotton batiste, so I made it double layered. I like the effect of the dots coming through a bit displaced - It has a three dimensional quality sometimes.
It is double faced - I sew the front and back together and turn it right side out through the neck opening.
Actually I would have liked it a bit longer too, but again there was not enough fabric - it just all went into the doublesideness of the thing.
A funny backstage fact: The pant I've sewn like 7 years ago (notice the rivets, something you do with with 20. Although I still kind of like them...). It was a time when I was larger and now they were mostly too wide to wear. I found them while packing for Berlin and I am wearing them around the house now. They are still wide but somehow not as wide I remember them. Guess I've put some weight on...

not as wide? no, it's just that our clothing likes to mess around and play tricks on us when we are not looking.
i love how the dots play with the rivets, and you know i love the top! :)
The shirt is really lovely... I love bows instead of collars.
Wouah! I've just discovered your blog and I adore it! By the way I've just moved to Berlin too.
Really cool top! I love it!
This blouse is adorable on you. I really like the way you attached the neck tie - just at the back. And your photography is looking hot!!
So beautiful this blouse! I love the colors and the style!
