Inspiration...Heirloom Blouse

 Heirloom sewing is a little different than garment sewing even though you are making garments.  The embellishments are outstanding.

This is the Rebecca Taylor Longsleeve Cotton Organza Blouse.  Price tag: $298.00. Details: 21" from the high point on the shoulder, boxy cut with drop shoulders, hand wash, dry flat.  The description states that the cami is 100% cotton and the blouse is 65% cotton and 35% silk.  I would guess that the lace inserts are also cotton.

This blouse is very feminine.  I love the idea of this type of look.  I don't know if I would wear it.  What do you think?

As far as patterns,  you will most likely need to search for vintage heirloom patterns.  For techniques, check out Martha's Sewing Room on youtube.  There is tons of information.  

Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Sewing!
