the embroidery beautifully adorns the blouse, enhancing its charm from every angle. the meticulous gathering at the neckline and lower sleeve edges adds a delicate touch, creating a flattering silhouette.
in Version 1, the long sleeves are elegantly gathered into wristbands, providing a refined finish that complements the overall design. additionally, the self-fabric bias binding at the neck edge not only adds structure but also ensures a seamless look that ties the entire piece together.
transitioning to Version 2, the blouse features short sleeves that offer a more casual yet stylish option. here, the self-fabric bias binding is also utilized to neatly finish both the neck and sleeve edges, maintaining the blouse’s cohesive aesthetic while catering to warmer weather.
