A flared blouse is very stylish and comfortable. It is very popular in Nigeria these days. It is important to shorten and spread the template so it can be evenly created. If you just make the edge wider you may not have the style you want.

Now you know how easily you can draft the front of the top. First, draw a line from the point of the bust towards the edge. Cut along this line. Close the bust and open it at the edge. Re-pull the edge by creating a gentle curve from the dart to the side seam.

At this stage, there should be a horizontal grain line under the armhole on the back of the blouse block. Now, draw one line from this grain line to the edge in the center of the back. Then cut along the line and then along the horizontal line to the side seam.

Now, flare the side stitch to match the flare on the front template. It will pull the piece down but it is okay. Again draw the edge line with a curve. Your final draft should look something like the one on the right. The width of the upper part may not be the same in front and back, but the angle and length of the side seam must match!
