Love this blouse

This is another Style Arc Monty Shirt. I’ve made it twice before but this time I wanted a neutral solid colour blouse to go with my patterned work trousers.
It has to be said that being one of the older Style Arc patterns, the instructions are pretty poor, and I was still not able to sew the collar part using the Style Arc instructions alone.
Thankfully TomKatStitchery has a 6 part sew along on YouTube. This, along with the instruction images, got me through the collar!
I knew the shirt came up cropped so as before I added 10cm to the length to the pattern pieces. I’ve turned up the bottom using a 3cm deep hem.
The Monty Shirt Style Arc pattern only provided finished garment measurements, and not a sizing table, so the first thing you have to do is work out what size you need based on the amount of ease you want. Helpfully there is a Women’s Size Chart as one of the images for this pattern on the Foldline site.
For a shirt it’s a relatively quick make with a grown on short sleeve (no cuffs!) and no separate button band.
The medium weight crepe was perfect for this swingy boxy top. More images and details on my blog post
