80’s striped blouse
Let's see together the steps to draft this blouse. It's quite an advanced pattern, perfect if you want to challenge yourself!
Any shirting fabric will look nice, but get a striped one to be able to play with the grain direction and get the best effect.
You can learn our method for drafting perfectly made to measure basic blocks (contoured ones, and the ones with wearing ease) and for fitting them in our basic blocks course/module 1.
Step 2
Trace the separate pieces:
- back and front yoke (this one with dart closed)
- back and front shoulder inserts
- back and front main pieces
- back and front side panels.
Step 3
On front yoke, draw the built in collar and the slash lines.
