I love this pattern
Perfect for a loose summery blouse.
I used a voile, added 1 inch to the length all round as I like it a little longer.
Will be making the next one in a lightweight linen.

Use this pattern if you are looking for a quick and easy loose style for hot summer days. I like the shape and length of it. The back gives it an interesting twist. I made mine with a cotton lawn with a problematic pattern that I had been pondering for some time, this style was the perfect solution.

Just the blouse I was looking for. I added length to the sleeves, did a full biceps adjustment (I always have to do that) and added length to front and back because I have a long torso and don’t like to show my tummy. I also interfaced the plackets.
Perhaps not a pattern for beginners.

Melody (verified owner) – October 14, 2018:

I really love this pattern but there is a huge sizing difference between the 16 and 18.
The 16 fit small and yet I feel like I am swimming in the 18. Perhaps I am just not used to the oversize fit of the blouse style. Any way the pattern pieces went to together well. I would suggest interfacing the front button placket to reinforce the button holes and I used lace seam tape for the sleeve hems .

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
