Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a relaxed-fit blouse featuring a softly gathered round neckline, cut-on cap sleeves, and a simple back button closure.
This versatile blouse is perfect for a variety of occasions, offering effortless style and comfort:
Silhouette: A relaxed-fit blouse with a straight body, designed for comfortable wear and versatile styling.
Neckline: Features a round neckline with gentle gathers at the front, set into a narrow neckline band for soft draping and a flattering silhouette.
Sleeves: Cap sleeves cut in one with the front and back that subtly cover the shoulders; the armholes are finished with bias binding.
Back: A clean center back seam includes a short slit opening at the neck, secured with a single button and a fabric (rouleau) loop.
Hem: A straight hemline that allows for easy tucking into bottoms or wearing loosely for a relaxed aesthetic.
Length: Designed to fall around the hip level, offering practical coverage and styling options.
Intermediate. This pattern involves techniques such as creating gathers, applying facings for a neat neckline finish, binding armholes with bias tape, and making a fabric loop and button closure.
Choose light to medium-weight woven fabrics with good drape for a soft and flowing look:

Before cutting your fabric, print and lay out the paper patterns according to your fabric width (90–150 cm) to determine required yardage.
Remember to account for paired and symmetrical pieces.
When sewing, pay close attention to all notches — they must match precisely to ensure correct construction and fit.
