I got the idea for this creation from a blouse that I had borrowed from a friend to wear on New Years Eve. I made the pattern for the main part of the top by tracing another tank top and adding on a bit since I wanted it to turn out on the looser side. The straps are made from one long sash which is folded every so often and sewn down. The sash comes together in a bow off to one side. I got the fabric from the White Elephant sale in Oakland, but I’m not sure what it is.
Gray fabric with white pattern.

Oh man, I love this! I threw together something similar today.. thanks for the inspiration! I’ll have to take photos and put mine up (I’m awfully lazy though, so my shirt wound up being a bit simpler than yours). :P

Looks great! I am thinking of making something similar, but then with fake leather as straps.

What a gorgeous blouse! It’s sexy and sophisticated at the same time. And I really like the pleated neckline and the bow.
