Afternoon Tea Blouse Sewing Pattern

The Afternoon Tea blouse sewing pattern from Oliver + S makes the perfect top for casual wear once complete.

Oliver + S’s Afternoon Tea blouse features a playful chest detail of contrasting panelled fabric, with the potential to add lace or sheer material for an extra injection of personality. The fresh, modern take on a vintage blouse has a keyhole back fastening and a flounce sleeve – with separate sections for larger or smaller cup sizes to ensure the perfect fit. The blouse looks especially beautiful when crafted with crepe, rayon challis, charmeuse, georgette, lawn or linen – anything drapey and flowing to accentuate its elegant silhouette.
