Velvet Ribbon

I'm glad that I finally finished another project from last month, a silk blouse with a side knot Burdastyle pattern 12/2019 size 38. My plan was to make it for my entry to magamsewalong "December Dreaming" challenge on Instagram but life was so busy and I couldn't make it on time.  For the fabric, I used my dream fabric from stash, floral silk crepe de chine.

I wore it with a me-made self-drafted skirt in beige and I think that this blouse will be nice to wear with my culottes too.  Well, I'm thinking to make one more blouse using this pattern but I'll be using other types of fabric. I'll see... Pattern: Burdasty...
