This blouse with a stand collar can be customized and used when making cosplay costumes.
You can change the collar or sleeve design of the pattern to match the character image.
It can also be used as a regular everyday-wear blouse pattern.
After printing the pattern, adjust the sleeve length to your preferred length. This will give you a perfect fit.
The body has a slightly relaxed silhouette, so if you use it for cosplay, adding waist darts to the pattern will create a cleaner line.
The explanation of the stand collar is a little simplified, so it may not be beginner-friendly.
The men’s pattern has no side darts, features a wider shoulder width, and has a straighter waist shape.
After printing, align and tape the joining lines, then cut out the pieces. Seam allowances are already included, so you can use the pattern as it is.
