Inspiration...Silk Blouse

 Blouses are a wonderful addition to the wardrobe.  This silk one is interesting even if it is a bit low cut.  We can correct that type of issue when we make our own clothes.


This is the Therese Matt Silk Blouse by Lafayette 148 New York.  Price tag: $598.00.  Details: V neckline with notched collar, button front, long blouson sleeves, button cuffs, shirring at cuffs and back yoke, side slits, relaxed silhouette, approximately 26" long.  

Don't you just love how this is being shown tucked into jeans with a belt?  I haven't seen this look in a long time.  Here's a blouse that looks a lot like it:


This is McCall's 8067.  View D is very close to be the inspiration top. Just don't use the pockets unless you want to.

Frankly, it seems like the inspiration picture is very expensive.  Even if you purchased silk for your version, the largest size only takes 2 1/2 yards of fabric.  Mood carries silk from $25 to $50 per yard.  I admit that I would find it difficult to cut into $50 yard fabric.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Sewing!
