1950's Sewing - Sewing Bee Pussy-Bow Blouse

 Sewing Bee Pussy-Bow Blouse
UK 8-20

Created by Sew Magazine
Inspired by the elegant and feminine blouses of the 1970s, this classic pussy-bow blouse has been made up in luxurious chiffon. The full sleeves are gathered at the wrist onto a buttoned cuff, and the front of the blouse gathers softly onto a yoke. Worn with a pair of smart tailored trousers, this makes an elegant boardroom outfit that works just as well worn on a night out. And there’s no need to accessorise, as the bow detail works double duty as a faux necklace!
