Inspiration...Tie-Neck Silk Blouse

Here's a lovely long-sleeved blouse to consider:

This is the Lafayette 148 New York Diana Mini Modernist Tie-Neck Silk Blouse. Price tag: $548.00.  Features:  Pointed collar, self-tie neckline, long sleeves, button cuff, back yoke, center box pleat, semi-fitted, and shirt-tail hem.   For a closer look, head over to Neiman Marcus.  Check out the "How to Wear It" section for additional ideas.

I've used the following pattern many times in inspiration posts but I think it's a good match for this type of blouse:

This is the Grainline Studio Archer pattern.   This is very close to the inspiration picture.  Add a self-fabric tie, leave off the pockets, and possible make the cuffs wider.   

Remember if you already have a shirt pattern fitted.  Use it.  Save those dollars for some fabulous fabric.  Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
