Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, shaped by darts on the front and on the back.

Length: Hip length, straight hem.

Collar: A single collar piece folded in half lengthwise and set into the neckline with small random pleats, so it stands as a narrow frill. The neckline and front neck opening are finished with an interfaced facing.

Front: Cut in one piece on the fold, with darts. A decorative ribbon 0.5–0.8 cm wide is topstitched over the collar seam, its ends left free to tie a bow.

Sleeves: Sleeveless, with cap sleeves (folded in half and pleated into the upper armhole) forming frills over the shoulders; the lower armhole is finished with a 4 cm bias binding.

Back: Centre back seam and two darts.

Finishing: Hem overlocked and turned up 2 cm.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Darts, a folded collar and cap sleeves pleated into the seams, a neckline facing and bias-bound armholes; no fastenings.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (neckline facings)
Decorative ribbon, 0.5–0.8 cm wide (approximate length is marked on the front pattern piece)

Cutter's Must

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 – 2 cm; 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!

From main fabric:
- Back – 2 pieces
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Front Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Cap Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece
From fusible interfacing:
- Front Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
