Alexander Blouse - a romantic touch
Views

Description
I made my first Alexander Blouse from a very inexpensive Indian fabric, although embellished and glamorous looking.
The colour is very discreet, almost romantic. I used bias tape to finish the peplum and olive-coloured buttons.
I like the antique feeling to it and the subdued colours.
Material Notes
polyester embroided georgette, 13 buttons, fabric made button loops, co-ordinated bias tape.

Hi Scheri, I am not sure that it has a number, it is called “Alexander” after Alexander McQueen, and you can search on Burda website. There is a small fee (I believe $4) in order to download and print at home.

This project IS based on Burda Style pattern, however, after I add it as a base project, it disappears. My apologies.
