I’m not one for sewing basics. I much prefer pretty dresses, but I’ve needed a basic white blouse for quite a few years!

I used Du Barry 5909 from the 1940s for my blouse. I decided to leave off the pocket so it would be more versatile.

It looks really great with separates including my vintage 40s skirt. I might just have to make the long sleeved version for next winter! More photos and construction details here.
