Hi peeps; new blouse!Amity of Lolita patterns emailed me a few months ago asking if I would like to test their new blouse pattern, the Olive. Thank you so much Amity! I lurve trying out new patterns! I finished it a little while ago and have been sitting on it; awaiting the go ahead to Reveal. And ta da! Apparently I'm part of a "blog tour". This is a new thing for me. No, I hadn't heard of a blog tour before either. It's kinda exciting :)
The Olive blouse is a fitted blouse with a waistband, pleated peplum and elbow length sleeves. It has two variations; view A has a draped chiffon overlay, vertically aligned flounce and a rolled chiffon flower on the front, also with or without a little gathered frill on the sleeves too. View B is, literally, the no frills version. Closure for both versions is by invisible zip in the side seam.
Anyway, whatever it is, I do think it turned out very "me"!
But I jest. Seriously now the blouse is a classic style and so therefore quite versatile and would work with lots of fabrics. The jazzy style A in satin or silk would be a very pretty evening blouse and the plainer style B in sateen or crepe would make a very smart option for work.
Since I acknowledge that I do have about a zillion white shirts I am toying with the idea of dyeing it. Or maybe not. I'm dithering.
