Sewing Technique For Thin Fabric

Hi everyone, One of my favorite blouses has a hole in it and I want to sew it in a way so that it doesn't show and I don't ruin the fabric which is very thin, I would really appreciate if someone could show me some technique or some way to fix it

This could be tricky as you have two different colours here and it will slightly distort the stripe pattern, but this video shows how to do an invisible ladder stitch

Do you have any of the fabric spare? If not could some be salvaged from an inside hem/seam? I would put a scrap of the fabric behind the hole so it matched up and then carefully sew it in by hand. There are various ways to do this from reinforcing the fabric patch to gluing it on before stitching etc.

Hope you make a successful repair.
