Minerva Digital Pattern 2807 – Long Blouse with Decorative Buttons

Introducing a digital pattern for the curved-hem blouse with soft front tucks and dramatic sleeves – Classic Tailoring with Modern Volume.

WHEN TO WEAR DESIGN 2807

This blouse delivers graceful structure and subtle texture, making it perfect for:

• Business Casual: Pair with slim trousers or pencil skirts for a polished office look.
• Evening Outings: The gathered sleeves and decorative buttons create a refined focal point for dinners or special gatherings.
• Weekend Chic: Wear untucked with jeans for an elevated casual style.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES

Silhouette: Relaxed, elongated shirt-blouse with a gently curved hem for versatile styling.

Front: Clean center-front opening finished with a faced edge and a row of decorative buttons only; soft stitched tucks (pin-tucks) replace shaping darts for subtle texture.

Closure: Invisible zipper at the center back provides the actual functional opening while maintaining a seamless look at the front.

Collar & Stand: Classic shirt collar with a two-piece stand for crisp structure.

Sleeves: Long bishop sleeves with shoulder gathers and buttoned cuffs for elegant fullness.

Back: Center-back seam with stitched tucks and a concealed zipper for easy dressing.

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

Intermediate. Precision is required when constructing the collar, sewing the pin-tucks, and setting the gathered sleeves.

SEAM ALLOWANCES

Please note:

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