Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this blouse using a 1940’s Advance pattern and some thrifted floral fabric. The skirt was reconstructed from a 1980’s sheath dress. The shorts in some of the photos are from my summer reverie outfit.
I included a photo of the vintage sewing pattern in the project pictures. I followed most of the pattern instructions, which meant a lot of hand-stitching.
If you are interested in reading more about the process—including the steps for making the bound buttonholes—please feel free to check out the post on my blog.

this is very nice. Love the shaping at the hem and the shape those waist darts give the whole thing. So simple yet very classy.

A delight! This is such a lovely blouse – and it so great how you were able to pair with shorts and a skirt. I imagine you will get a lot of use out of this.

Lovely! The fabric is so sweet and the model is great. What a great slogan on the envelope – the 3 R!
