Pattern: Burda 02/2009 The exclusive design from Tristano Onofri Fabric: sheer cotton/poly

This is a sheer paisley fabric, so I underlined the front wrapped pieces with the same fabric. The blouse has a side invisible zipper and a false ribbon bow. The back neckline and the sleeves’ hem are gathered by sewing with elastic thread in the lower bobbin, using a longer stitch step (4mm). Sew two double parallel lines with the elastic about 5mm apart, then pull on the elastic ends to achieve the desired gathering length and securely tie the elastic and the thread in a few knots. I like to wear this with an embroidered cami underneath.
