Flower Blouse

The Pattern:

All good things come at least three times... Yeah I am too lazy to trace new patterns - so reused the same pattern as for the Wallpaper Dress und Psycho wave blouse... The good thing about reusing patterns is that you get better and better in sewing them. You kind of learn from your mistakes... Mostly. I did a better collar indeed, but the extremely curved hem got wonky. What I changed is that I omitted the waist elastic and used pleats instead. The pattern had also too wide shoulders for me.


The Fabric:


Here is the post about it, when I purchased it.


The Blouse:


I have a feeling it got a bit of a Dynasty or Dallas style to it. And I somehow love it... I like the contuinity of the print that cannot be distorted through the pattern.






Funny Backstage Fact:

I somehow look stoned it this pictures - there is an easy explaination about it. I put the camera on the TV. And on the the TV was running a crime serie and I was watching it while I was making the photos. That is maybe a good visual about the effect of watching on humans...

The Details

I made the images before I put in the labels... I love them! I have so much fun putting them in.

The Porcelain Blouse:


Double placket.


Pleated and rounded collar. Otherwise the same as the pattern.




The side elastic on the outside.


The fabric... I love the outlines the most. It is such a silky, shiny cotton too...

These are more of a preview.


The pleats instead of the elastic.


The back. Ivory topstitching.



Cuffs.


Collar, front joke and shoulders.



Rounded hem.


PS. Thank you all for the award - I will check it out as soon as I have some spare time - it could be the weekend though...
