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.

That’s a great blouse! I still need to sew a basic white blouse myself!
Excellent blouse! The hat is cute, too.
That blouse turned out just right!
