A few years ago I made the Tilly and the Buttons Mathilde Blouse, which is a really simple, easy to stitch up pattern. I wanted to make this pattern after seeing some really gorgeous versions of this top online and on social media. Also, Tilly’s blog was one of my go-to blogs when I first started sewing because she created some really beautiful outfits that home sewers could create or even purchase her patterns.

What did you like about this pattern?

This is a really beautiful pattern and ended up being a perfect fit, even suitable for wider shoulder widths. There was no pulling at the top of your shoulders, which some tops tend do when they’re too tight a fit. I loved it so much I did what I typically do when I love a pattern, I make it in all colours and fabric types.

Did you make any pattern alterations?

I didn’t make any patterns alterations to this version as it fit me pretty great first go around.

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Tilly has also done a wonderful job explaining this pattern step-by-step. Her instructions are so easy and you end up making a really beautiful, well finished top in a matter of a hours.
