Inspiration...Pleated Blouse

Blouses are trending this season.  Isn't it nice that they are back?  Here's the lovely one that I found:

This is Lafayette 148 Prianka Silk Quarter Button Blouse. Price tag: $498.00.  This is silk with a spread collar, long sleeves with cuffs, shirt-tail hem, and front pockets.  Can't you see have multiples of this?

This looks almost exactly like this pattern:

This is the Archer Popover Variation Pack pdf pattern by Grainline Studio.  You would also need the Archer pattern by Grainline Studio.  This doesn't have the pleat detail on the front but maybe if you ask the designer she will create a tutorial.

Another pattern that might work is:

This is the Fisher's Pleated Blouse pattern by Silhouette Patterns.  This pattern has the pleat detail in the front but is missing the shirt collar/button placket.  If you have fabric to play with, you could try adding a shirt collar to this.

Hope you're inspired to sew something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
