I found this really funky cotton print during my last visit in New York. It is perfect for this blouse.
I also piped the collar, the buttoned front part and the sleeve hems. This was my first time piping and it turned out to be less difficult than I thought.
Unfortunately the blouse has a gaping neckline, which I can’t fix anymore so I feel more comfortable wearing something underneath it.

I really love this blouse, especially the piping on the sleeve hems. Great idea.

Yeah, I just finished making the Ute with this collar option, and I find that it feels very big…something about all that interfacing makes it stand out from my body a bit and I feel like I’m not wearing anything on top. The shirt doesn’t look terribly revealing on you, though.. it looks great!
