Description

Actually this was made in a hurry but i dint get round to finishing it yet(notice the missing hooks at the front closing). I started off with the body colored lining first, using the basic indian blouse pattern to use as the base. I sewed the gathers on to the base. I had a tough time wid the gathering coz I had no pattern. Anyway this is how i wore it- to attend a friends wedding(with a saari of course!). will sew in the remaining hooks soon.

    Look so luxurious with the golden details, just like the Disney princess Jasmine.

    This is very special – love the colours and the gathering has worked well. I would love to try this sort of gathering on the bodice of a dress…

      yes, i too think it will look good. I m actually trying it on the bodice of another dress, but since the fabric is printed the gathers are not as visible. let me see how it turns out.

    Nice blouse Nisha. I am glad people are able to use my pattern draft & sewing tutorial to great use. I can’t explain the joy and excitement i am feeling right now. It feels good to be able to help people in your own way by sharing what you know… it makes one learn even better.

    Here is the pattern drafting tutorial http://adithisammasews.blogspot.com/2010/10/saree-blouse-pattern-draft-1-enjoy.html

    Here is the sewing tutorial http://adithisammasews.blogspot.com/2010/11/saree-blouse-sewing-tutorial.html

    for those who would like to know the links… projects like these when people give credit to my tutorial, motivates me to post more in future… next in the list is Anarkali kameez tutorial, keep checking , it will be posted soon.

    I would love to have the pattern!!! I *ahem outgrew the choli I wore for my wedding. Need a new one to attend a Bollywood-themed party next month. Your version looks more fancy than the regular store bought ones!
