I am trying to get away from wearing t-shirts on a daily basis. This little blouse would be great for a daily wearing top:
This is the Button-Down Silk Blouse by Lafayette 148 New York. Price tag: $498.00. Details: approximately 26" from shoulder to hem, notched lapel, button front, ruched back yoke, hem side slits, relaxed fit, silk.
The blouse would be much better for daily use in a fabric other than silk. That is just personal opinion. I have owned silk that could be washed by machine and it was fine.
Pattern thoughts. There are two patterns that I would consider. First, is the Itch to Stitch Nosara Shirt:
This pdf pattern has more of a shirt feel with the collar but it would be easy to add a little cuff and turn the pleats into a gathered area in the middle of the yoke.
This next pattern is much closer to the inspiration photo:
This is the Melody Dolman pdf pattern by Love Notions. This pattern does not have yoke. I think it would be easy to add one if you were inclined.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful. I am an Itch to Stitch affiliate. If you purchased through one of my links, I will receive a small commission. Thank you!
Happy Stitching!
