Minerva Digital Pattern 2844 – Blouse with Combined Button Closure

Introducing a digital pattern for the tailored blouse with high waist seam, gathered bodice, and angular hem – Structured Femininity with Modern Detailing.

WHEN TO WEAR DESIGN 2844

This blouse balances elegance and contemporary styling, making it ideal for:

• Workwear: A polished yet fashion-forward option paired with trousers or skirts.
• Evening Looks: The shaped hem and structured lines elevate casual bottoms.
• Occasions: A versatile blouse that shifts seamlessly from day to night.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES

• Silhouette: Fitted blouse with gathered bodice transitioning into a sharply defined waist panel.

• Closure: Hidden button placket (concealed button closure) along the bodice, transitioning to a visible button placket at the waist panel for a sharp tailored effect.

• Collar & Stand: Classic shirt collar with stand for a crisp neckline finish.

• Sleeves: Long sleeves finished with cuffs and buttoned sleeve vents.

• Back: Waist seam with angular hem shaping for tailored balance.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Intermediate. Precision is required for sewing the waist gathers, assembling the angular hem, and attaching the collar and cuffs.

SEAM ALLOWANCES

No seam allowances by default. If the option to add them at €1 is chosen, all seams are 1 cm. Hem allowance: blouse hem – 2 cm.

Please note: A single contour on the pattern pieces means no seam allowances are included. A double contour indicates seam allowances are included.
