V neck blouse

Let's draft together the pattern of this romantic blouse.

It is perfect in a lightweight, drapey fabric as crepeon, georgette, voile, or lightweight cotton or viscose.

Grab a basic block with darts and a basic sleeve to start with.

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 1

Get back and front and draw the new neckline (slightly wider on back, V shaped on front) and the peplum lines, horizontal on back and slanted upward on front:

  • the first one is few cm above the waist,
  • the hem line is 12-18cm below (but you can choose the measurement you prefer.

Get the sleeve, taper it at the elbow and draw the slash lines: some are to flare from the elbow downward, the others are to give volume to the cap.

 

Step 2

Trace a copy of front and back bodice and peplum.

Manipulate the darts:

  • on back bodice, erase it and discard the same amount from side seam and center back,
  • on front bodice, close the shoulder dart and open its volume at the waist one,
  • on both peplum pieces, erase the darts (their volume will be eased in the seam).
Step 3

Trace a new copy of front bodice filling the dart with paper and marking the gather at the underbust.

Draw some slash lines on front and back peplum.
