Made this with a pretty Liberty cotton lawn (William Morris design) and it turned out beautifully. A simple make, it reminds me of the first blouse I ever made (way back in the 1970’s).
It will definitely be in my box of favourite patterns.
I might make it in cheaper (or stash) fabric as everyday wear next, I can see a few of these in my future sewing plans.

This is a traditional peasant blouse with a perfect neckline, IMO. The neckline gathers to a comfortable fit without being too wide and the armscye still fits well. The change I made was after constructing the tie, I cut it in half and added 20 inches of 3/8 inch elastic to the center. This allows for the desired neck gathering, and long enough ties to show like the pattern pictured. I used a cotton/rayon voile and it was nice and flowy.

Lovely design and it was easy to make, but I am an experienced sewist. With better instructions it could be rated as easy instead of medium. The instructions are written for people who already know how to sew. They’re too brief in places for a beginner. They would benefit from separating some steps and including more images, plus ensuring the images are placed in order of construction.

Lovely shape to this Anita Peasant blouse. Simple shaping makes it’s super easy to complete. I think next time I will omit the centre split and tie and just do a regular front. I can add elastic instead of the ties. Made in a lightweight polycotton. Nice length. One negative is the sleeves. Just the wrong length for me. I have made it as the pattern says but next time will adjust the length and slim the shape a little. A year round staple in the wardrobe as it can be worn alone or with layers for chillier weather

I made this yesterday and very pleased with how easy it was. I will definitely be making more. It’s fairly loose but ideal to wear in the spring. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I’m not sure what the fabric is as it’s been in my stash for years just waiting for the right pattern to come along.

Everyone has written wonderful reviews, and although the finished garments (I made 2) came out well, I would appreciate more directions. For the price of these patterns, it would be lovely to have a video to watch. Many companies do provide videos and that would make it so much easier. More pictures or written directions would be great as well. Style Arc assumes that people who buy their patterns already have the skills to see how to put things together. I guess I am not quite skilled enough for a style arc pattern, at least some of your patterns.

This is a quick and easy make, i would probably use ribbon next time for the tie. I liked the longer length in the body as a couple of other top patterns i have are a bit short.
I made it in a linen for summer but would work in something heavier for winter.

Great pattern, no problem with instructions, looked at the finished measurements and decided to make a size 10. Went together perfectly. Really happy with result. Only adjustment was an inch out of the sleeve for my arms. Still a 7/8 inch sleeve.

My daughter wanted a sleep shirt made in a cotton voile. We used this pattern, just adding to the length. The result was a perfect sleep shirt. I did add a bit to the seams because I did French seams since the material was the equivalent of a lovely, light batiste. The pattern was so easy & now I have a request for a peasant blouse from said daughter.

I love this pattern. I have made three blouses so far. Very pretty and flattering design. They are loose by design but this is perfect for summer. I used chambray cotton.

Made this in a flowy chiffon, very happy with how it turned out. Fit is quite loose. The neckline tie is true drawstring, so it’s versatile on how tight or loose you want the neckline.
