Sew Over It Bonnie Blouse and Dress

Buy the Bonnie Blouse and Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Bonnie Blouse is a pretty, feminine, 1940s-inspired waisted blouse with a touch of glamour. It features a button-up front with vertical pleats on the front bodice, a concealed button placket, flat collar, bust darts, and short sleeves with little turn-up cuffs. It has a waistband which cinches in the waist, with a sweet un-buttoned opening at the front waist. The Bonnie Dress features an elegant knee-length gathered skirt with an easy-to-wear elasticated waist. Both the blouse and dress can be made without the pleats if you fancy a speedier make.
