Step 1
Start from a basic block with darts – I suggest about 8cm ease at bust, 4cm at waist and hips, but exact ease does not matter as we’ll create a loose blouse. The only important part is to have a little ease in the waist to hip section for the top not to be too tight.
Work on full front:
- draw the hemline (marked in red) 12 to 16cm below waistline
- draw left shoulder (blue line) 5 to 6cm above original shoulder line
- draw left side seam (orange line) connecting shoulder and hem outermost points.
