Butterick 5496

A little something from the vault.  I made this top several years ago now to wear for a wedding.  I initially did version D which has a slit in the upper seam and is elasticated. However, the material is 100% cotton so looked a little stiff and poofy, hence I removed the elastic.  I really liked the oriental print of this material and it's the perfect length of top to wear with a long skirt or jeans.    
 
 

I made the necklace with a turquoise and gold beads which I thought was a nice contrast to the other colours in the blouse. Also originally worn with a long olive green A-line skirt.


 

This is a quick easy make if you want something stylish to whip up in an afternoon. I definitely recommend it.
