Description
1891 pattern, from Ageless Patterns. I used this dotted cotton seercucker as a first try of the pattern, changing the long sleeves to 3/4 uncuffed ones (I was short on the fabric remnant I used for this "wearable muslin"). Good fit for no corset, next one, which I am working on now, will need taking at the waist for wear over my new period-appropriate corset. I like this blouse a lot; the tucks, which fan out rather than being parallel, are some work, but I think it's worth the effort. Back has tucks as well, and is yoked - back view here [link]
