Retro-1940s "Swing" Style Blouse
Made from shirting material or (as in this example) silk with short sleeves, my Romantic Blouse pattern looks very retro-1940s! This is a fun pattern to use to create a wide variety of styles. If you like the “Peggy Carter” look, this pattern is perfect to pair with both 1940s- and 1950s-style skirts!

This pattern is rated intermediate, but a patient beginner can make a blouse if the collar step is taken slowly and carefully.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SAME PATTERN AS THE BEATRIX BLOUSE! No need to purchase two. These photos just show how the blouse can be made more vintage-esque.
