Pussy Bow Blouse I wanted to create a Pussy Bow Blouse reminiscent of the one the model is wearing on the pattern envelope of the Cashmerette Meriam pants below. Cashmerette Miriam Trousers  I made a couple of pairs of the Meriam pants for the Sewing Pattern Review 2022 Pants contest and wanted a garment to go with them.  This blouse is a mash up of the Vernon Shirt from Cashmerette and this Style pattern circa 1975 Style blouse pattern.   Style 1064 Vernon Shirt  Style 1064 Blouse has front button fastening and long bias set-in sleeves gathered into buttoned cuffs. Bust, back and shoulder darts. View 1 has collar. View 2 has bias neck tie. View 3 has stand collar, purchased belt and optional lace trim.  Vernon by Cashmerette  Reclaim the button-up with the Vernon Shirt! This boob-friendly take on the essential button-up shirt features two views: View A is a classic shirt with a traditional collar and collar stand, and full sleeves with narrow cuffs. View B is a fashion-forward version

Cashmerette - Hampden Dress Breeze into summer with the Hampden Dress! The Hampden is a woven dress designed specifically for curves with princess seams, an elasticated back waistband, and zero gaping thanks to a faux button placket. Its short sleeves, knee-length skirt, and roomy patch pockets make it a great addition to any spring and summer wardrobe. Hampden Dress But that's not all! Mix and match the Hampden with the Holyoke Maxi Dress & Skirt's sleeveless bodice, maxi-length skirt, and inseam pockets for even more sundress and skirt possibilities.  Holyoke pattern Combinations of Holyoke and Hampden Recommended Fabrics - Light- to mid-weight woven fabric such as cotton lawn, linen, or rayon. Use drapey fabrics for a flowy look or firmer fabrics for a more structured result.  I used Neon leopard printed rayon from Spotlight. It has a very slight stretch.  I had to place my pattern pieces carefully to print match the design across the front and around my dress. Sizing 0-
