Inspiration...Sleeveless Button-Down Blouse

 Continuing down the path of spring/summer sewing, here is a sleeveless button-down blouse:


This is the Lafayette 148 New York Sleeveless Button-Down Blouse.  Price tag: $698.00.  Details:  Silk blouse with floral print and self piping detail, approximately 24-inches from shoulder to hem, peter pan collar, button front, sleeveless, and relaxed fit.  Not mentioned but clearly seen is the fabric the blouse has covered buttons.  Model is 5'10".   Found at Neiman Marcus.  Shown as an outfit with white jeans.

For me this is an easy pick on the pattern.  I would use this pattern:


This is the Liesl + Co. Classic Shirt pattern (affiliate link).  This is about as classic as you can get for a button-down.  The changes that I would make would be to not make the button placket but follow directions for the under portion of the bodice, change shape of collar if I chose, straighten the hem, and omit the sleeves and pockets.  

This pattern is a good option for me as I have already fitted the pattern.  If you already have a shirt pattern fitted, use it.  Save those bucks for more fabric.
