Split Sleeve Blouse

Presenting a chic and comfortable women's blouse pattern, distinguished by its unique split three-quarter sleeves that create an elegant, flowing silhouette.

When To Wear

This versatile blouse is perfect for adding a touch of relaxed sophistication to various settings, making it an ideal choice for:

Warm Weather Getaways: Its breathable fabric recommendations and open sleeves make it perfect for resort wear or summer days.
Smart Casual Occasions: Pair it with tailored trousers or skirts for a polished yet relaxed professional look.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A relaxed, straight-fit blouse designed for comfort and ease of movement, falling to a hip-length hem.

Neckline: Features a wide, gently curved crew neckline, finished with a neat facing for a clean and smooth appearance.

Sleeves: The standout feature is the three-quarter length sleeves, constructed in two pieces with a dramatic open seam on the underside, creating a graceful, flowing "split" or "bell" effect.

Back: A clean, unadorned back panel mirrors the front neckline for a cohesive design.

Hem: A simple, straight hemline provides a neat finish to the garment.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. This pattern requires skills in sewing bust darts, attaching facings, working with two-piece sleeves, setting in sleeves, and finishing edges with bias binding.

Fabric & Materials

Fabric recommendations: blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing. IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE NOT INCLUDED. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Hem allowance – 1.5 cm; all other seams – 1 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!
