Inspiration...Grid Blouse

Today, I've found a really lovely blouse:



This is the Lafayetter 148 New York Scottie Greenwich Grid Button-Down Blouse.  Price tag: $348.00.  Details:  stretch cotton, spread collar, button front, long sleeves, button cuffs, box pleat, relaxed silhouette, shirttail hem.  The major detail that isn't mentioned but can be seen is the that cuffs, the collar, and the york are on the bias.  This is what makes this top special. Be sure to head over to Neiman Marcus to see a close-up of this blouse.  Here are the patterns:


This is the Archer Button Up pattern by Grainline Studio.  To achieve a similar top, don't add the pocket.   Put the pattern pieces for the collar, cuffs, and yoke on the bias.  To do this, simply put the rule on a 45 degree angle from the straight of grain line and draw it in.  You might need additional fabric for this detail.

This pattern would also work:


This is the Classic Shirt by Liesl & Co.  Although this pattern gives you the same basic silhouette as the Archer, this one has a darts which will give it a better fit.  Same changes as listed above for the bias items.  Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
