LA Blouse - Atelier Brunette

I've made three of these blouses now and the gathering around the waist gives it such a nice, flouncy fit. The officer collar looks way more polished than I expected for a simple sew. Perfect for dressing up jeans or wearing loose over trousers.

The officer collar is such a clever detail—it gives the whole blouse an instant polish without trying too hard. I’ve already worn it twice this week and the gathers make the fit feel really forgiving and flattering.

The gathers wrapping all the way around give it such a flattering, fluid drape—I feel like I’m wearing something far more expensive. The officer collar adds a bit of structure that balances the softness perfectly.
