The blue colors are calling me this year. Here is a fabulous blouse/shirt:
This is the Lafayette 148 New York Scottie Abstract Blouse. Price tag: $798.00. Details: spread collar, hidden button placket, long sleeves, single button split cuffs, box-pleated back yoke, shirt-tail hem, relaxed fit, silk, dry clean only.
The print makes this blouse. Even if it is a classic. I would use this pattern:
This is the Classic Shirt pattern by Liesl & Co. This is a well drafted pattern and I highly recommend it. Here are a couple of tutorials for doing the hidden button placket - How To Make Hidden Buttonholes and How to Make a Hidden Button Placket. In looking closely at the cuffs, they are a little different. They look wider and the button is near the top edge instead of middle. This would be a great shirt to actually see.
Honestly, the fabric is best part. This is just a classic shirt pattern with a couple of extras. Remember if you already have a shirt/blouse pattern fitted. Use it. Save that money for fabric and notions.
Happy Stitching!
