This is a blouse sewing pattern with ruffles on the chest, created based on many requests from users.
The construction is simple. The ruffles are made by folding the fabric and sandwiching it between the pieces, so even beginners can try making this blouse.
The ruffles are designed as two tiers on the front and one tier on the cuffs. Each ruffle is made separately and then attached. You can also use ready-made decorative ruffles if you want a more luxurious look.
The sleeves have a straight design so that when the cuffs are closed, they create a soft and slightly puffy silhouette.
After printing the pattern, align the joining lines, tape the pages together, and cut out the pieces.
Seam allowances are already included in the pattern, so you can use the pieces as they are.
