I decided to jump on the Grainline Archer bandwagon. Its lack of bust darts makes it perfect for when I transition from nursing to weaning my daughter.
I loved using a fabric in my stash for this project. I bought this Art Gallery voile last summer. Seeing the blouse that Sunni made gave me the confidence that while this print is *loud*, it looks great in a blouse and is seriously so much fun! I used an aqua and white gingham as contrast under collar and inside collar stand pieces.
I did Back View A without the pleat. I had to remove 1/2″ width from either side at the shoulder area of the yoke, anyway, so when I drafted the lower back piece I turned that extra width into a gather at the center back instead of taking it out entirely. Clear as mud? Good!
This is beautiful! I am glad you tried it.
Thanks, Gemia! This voile is so comfortable 🙂 I need to make a smaller Archer as I’ve lost a bunch of weight since this photo was taken.
