Button down blouses/shirts are such a wardrobe staple. We should have many for every season. This next blouse I have posted many iterations of it. This is where having a fitted pattern can result in a great wardrobe. Here is the top:
This is the Scottie Printed Silk Button Down Blouse by Lafayette 148 New York. Price tag: $798.00. Details: spread collar, concealed button placket, long sleeves, wide button cuffs, back yoke, box pleat, relaxed fit, shirttail hem.
I know it is the color that drew me in. I checked at Cali Fabrics to see what type of prints that might have and there are tons here. I have not found the exact print or even one similar. What pattern? Well, I am going to go to the one I always suggest as it is one that I have fitted.
This is the Liesl & Co Classic Shirt pattern. This is a link to the designer site and there is a ton of information for this pattern. I have found it to be very well drafted. Here is my preferred method of making a hidden placket at Threads - How to Make a Hidden Button Placket. As for making changes to the cuff, when you widen the cuff remember to shorten the sleeve.
Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
