Yet another item from the "things I made this summer and am just now putting on the blog" list, this Roscoe blouse is definitely a favorite new top for me. I frequently wear it with jeans now that the weather is cooler, but I also wore it quite a bit this summer with the off-white silk noil Cleo skirt shown in this post.

The pattern is the Roscoe Blouse by True Bias, and I used a semi-sheer rayon that I purchased from IndieSew. I often nail-bite about buying rayon fabric because of the questionable environmental impact of rayon production, but I never hesitate to buy it from IndieSew because the fabrics are overstock (learn more about the sustainability of overstocks in this super informative post by IndieSew). And also, can we get a "hell YEAH!" for Cloud9 who is now producing environmentally-friendly rayons? The new Business Class line from Jessica Jones is great -- it has "Boden Work-wear" written all over it.

I've seen quite a bit of discussion online about sizing for this pattern. Kelli designed this blouse to be super roomy, and recommends you select super flowy fabrics to make it. I think whether you decide to size down to something a bit less roomy is up to you, but I really like it like this and if I could do it again, I'd choose the same size (which, by the way, I chose based on measurements as instructed). I can't remember now off the top of my head which size this was but I think it was either the 10 or 12, but as you can see from these photos, it's very roomy (and I like it that way!).

I really love this boho style -- it reminds me of a more-flowy, less-fitted version of my gathered Josephine with tassel ties. Unlike that top, this pattern has a raglan style sleeve and no center front seam, but I can see making many more of this style. I really love the solid copper version Meg just made and posted on her Instagram last week, so maybe I'll try something solid next time!

You can purchase the Roscoe blouse in print or PDF version from the True Bias shop.
