Meet the Alton Blouse
The Alton is a floaty blouse that features:
- A faced keyhole neckline that can be worn open or tied
- Straight sleeves or striking pleated long sleeves that end in an elastic cuff
- Bust darts and side seam shaping, ideal for curves
- Relaxed fit in the waist for comfort all day long
The Alton is rated advanced beginner but is sure to be an enjoyable make for sewists of all skill levels.
What’s even better? The Alton Blouse is completely compatible with the Montrose Top, which means you can mix and match the neckline and sleeves of the Alton and Montrose for even more options!
The Alton works best with light- to mid-weight drapey fabrics like silk, voile, and lawn.
Jenny’s Alton was made with hand-dyed double ikat generously gifted by our friends at Core Fabrics. (Get it here.)
