Yayy!! It's my 100th blog post! You may have noticed my completely new blog design. I'm still messing around with the header, so it may be totally different next time you look. I want a vintage-style design, rather than modern chevron.

All that aside, here's my new blouse!!
I haven't had a chance to take pictures of myself in it, so those will have to wait until I find a coordinating vintage hat.
I used Butterick B5890, adding a button closure instead of a zipper. I also took it in approximately an inch on each of the front tucks.
I absolutely love this pattern, and I can't wait to make more of these blouses!
I adore the row of shiny red buttons down the back.
The sleeves are self-lined, giving them a very nice, neat, finished look.
My first collar ever!! It is sewed onto a band, rather than directly onto the blouse.
Ahhh...buttons.
Up next is a post about my Regency chemise.

Such a lovely blouse, buttons down the back is always such a wonderful feature
ReplyDeleteI love your blouse - especially the buttons! I wonder how it would look with just the band and no collar? Thank you for the inspiration - I just may have to make one!
ReplyDeleteKaitlyn - Thank you!! I love the buttons too, much better than a zipper!
ReplyDeleteVickie - I'm glad I could provide some inspiration!! I'm sure just a band would be lovely as well. I'm going to try one without the band also. Thank you for the comment! :-)
Cute blouse! I like the collar and the red buttons. Thanks for sharing at Submarine Sunday!
