Friends, despite multiple sewing projects on the go, I have nothing finished to show you and probably won't for a while I'm afraid. But, I have been itching to revisit the beautiful, new pattern that has taken blogsville by storm - the Mathilde Blouse, the first ever commercial pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. If you've visited Tilly's Maker Gallery, you'll already know what a versatile pattern it is and that it lends itself well to all kinds of exciting variations.
But, I also wanted to show you how versatile, and indeed wearable, the very same version of a Mathilde Blouse can be. Here are just three ways that I've worn my Mathilde to date - there are lots more combinations I'll be experimenting with...like seeing how the yummy sleeves look under a pinafore-style dress!
Casual - imagine how cool this will actually look without tights and paired with some
pretty sandals in warmer weather.
Smart casual - this is still my favourite look to date!
Smart - I wasn't sure how this boxy shape would lend itself to being tucked in,
but I was pleasantly surprised!
Have you experimented with styling your Mathilde Blouse? What's your favourite way to wear it?
If you're still on the fence about Tilly's pattern, you can read my thoughts on the construction process here. And for an even more comprehensive review, because she's just way more eloquent, pop over to Karen's post!
I agree with you I really like the smart casual option. Your White Matilde is so versatile! I have my fabric all ready to get started on that blouse. Can't wait x
ReplyDeleteOooh, can't wait to see yours Stevie!
DeleteThanks for showing this in separate ways. Really a nice blouse!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked seeing them!
DeleteGreat choices, I like the smart choice too:)
ReplyDeleteDead cute. All three ways. But especially with the shorts. I love it in white.
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks Janene...I do love it with shorts even if I don't exactly have the legs for them ;o)
DeleteSmart casual is the best for me. What kind of fabric is it?
ReplyDeleteIt was a cotton voile, nice and drapey!
DeleteGorgeous! You're right it'll look dead cute in the Summer with shorts. I like wearing my red one ticked into a pencil skirt too - it looks really chic. Thank you so much for sharing these looks, Marie ;) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Tilly! I bet yours looks very sophisticated with a pencil skirt...hope we get to see it ;o)
DeleteMine has been in the works for a couple of days--hopefully it'll get finished soon. I've been swooning over others' makes for too long!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be and I'm sure it'll look fab!
DeleteThis blouse is firmly on my to-do list, thanks for the inspiration! I think all the looks are fab, it's such a versatile top!!!
