Simplicity Modest Yoke Blouse Adaptation

You can pretty much make adaptations of blouses from ready-to-buy patterns and turn them into graceful modest blouses befitting a Bas Yisrael.  Here is a pattern I use from Simplicity 9012 for nightgowns and pajamas. I adapted the pattern, using a high-collar yoke on a pull-on pajama top. See the middle model wearing purple button-downed nightgown. The other yokes are not so tznius as they reveal the torso beyond the collarbone, as well as expose the torso beyond the neck.

Then I sewed a mock neckband, thanks to ModestAnytime.com for its ideas! Walla! A rather modest blouse for regular wear that is b'chein! You can wear the blouse loose, or you can add a belt or a bow around the waist for a pretty effect.

Fabric used are print jersey knit and stable cotton-lycra ribbing for the neckband, elastic for the gathered cuffs and bias tape as elastic casing.  Rolled hem on the sleeves and blouse produces a lettuce edging. Simply beautiful, thanks to my serger.  Happy sewing, my sisters!
