Here's some more photos of my handmade blouse, styled a bit differently with high waisted black shorts and a ribbon bow attached to the blouse. .jpg)  .jpg)
I didn't talk much about making the blouse in my last post, and heaps of you asked how I made it, so I will real briefly now. I used a really simple pattern, and hence the blouse is quite an "oversized" style (ie I couldn't be bothered to add any buttons, zippers etc and I actually wanted to have to ability to get it on and off without dislocating my shoulders).
This is the basic pattern I used (cut this shape out of fabric twice, sew it together right sides facing each other - except for the arm and neck holes of course - and then add interfacing on the neck, hem the arm holes and add a collar), and when I have more time (my Uni holidays will be coming up in about 3 weeks!) I will endeavour to do a full DIY on it for you all.
The collar bit looks really dodgy in the above photo, I just needed to fix it by ironing it properly though.

Shorts - ??? (Cotton On?)

Much love, all!

Such a talent. You should sell your stuff on etsy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Mayyyybe when I get a little better at sewing I will. The insides of these things look pretty awful, haha. I don't bother making them all pretty on the inside yet, because I'm the only one who'll see that... but I'll have to learn to!
DeleteAdorable! The bow + high waisted shorts are perfect with the blouse. Love it :)

I love your hat! I plan on ordering one just like it.
ReplyDeleteBut, I noticed it's from Wholesale-Dress and they have a ton of bad reviews. I know they sponsor you but I was wondering if you had any bad experiences with their customer service. Thanks!
They are a bit hard to communicate with if you get into any difficulty because they have a little bit of trouble with english, BUT they do respond really quickly, the customer service used to be quite bad but it has definitely gotten better, and the same goes for the quality of the clothes. They do ship really fast as well and so there are usually never any problems or need to have to talk to them. The only time you might need to talk to them is when things go out of stock and they can't send them to you. I've usually had good experiences with them, especially with bags, tights, hats and shoes (they've never been weird, whereas one or two dresses and blouses turned up a bit odd or the wrong size). Sooo... I guess you just have to make your own decisions off that :) This hat though, was really, really good quality for the price so I'd definitely recommend it.
DeleteYou look adorable as always! You make sewing sound so easy! "Oh yeah whatever I just made some shapes and cranked out this amazing blouse." You got talent!
ReplyDeleteHaha.. oh dear! It wasn't that easy, I didn't mean to sound like that! I just meant that I was explaining it really quickly now because I don't have time to go into a full DIY, haha. But thanks :)
DeleteOh I liked the blouse before, now I love it!! Its fab with the shorts!! I wear shorts all the time with tights and never thought about white or cream tights, what a great idea :) I love this look.
ReplyDeleteAnd you do make sewing sound easy, the blouse is a great result! :)
