Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a standard 5 button blouse that I adapted from the Sew U book. I added a ruffle along the front and used the selvage of the material to finish the ruffle and the sleeves because I liked the already frayed look. This was my first blouse of this kind, and I am pleased. The collar is a little hairy because I didn’t use interfacing since I was concerned that the white would show through the fabric since it is so sheer (advice?)

Very classy, and the frayed ruffles and sleeves add a really interesting edge to it. I like it a lot.

thanks for the tips! I plan on making more of these, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be!

Sheer organza (should be kind of stiff by definition), 1 or 2 layers would interface it. Sometimes you can use a neutral midtone gray underneath to minimize the color bleed through. The picture shows a fine example of using a dark fabric (where camisole is) or a light fabric (your skin) to interface. It is your choice, but personally I would go with a color that makes it look more solid. Black interfacing could really change the color just as much as white but it really depends on the apparel fabric.

You can find interfacings for sheer fabric. You can also find interfacing in darker colors that might not show through. You maybe could also use a bit of silk organza as a sew-in interfacing.
I’ve never done it, though.

Really pretty! I like the way you have used the selvedges, it’s very effective.

Oo very nice! I’ve wanted to make a blouse like this for a bit- I also have some dotted fabric, it’s great seeing yours though!bx
