Suggested fabric

Choose a supple woven fabric, light to medium weight. As far as fibers are concerned, viscose, cotton, silk are appropriate. You can opt for crepe or poplin, as well as a flannel that is not too thick.
Avoid too fabrics that are too soft and weighty which could flatten the pleats instead of accentuating the design.

Digital pattern

Bilingual (French & English)

3 paper sizes (A0 – A4 – US Letter) ready to print

All our patterns are digital only. You will receive a link to download a zip file, which contains several pdf files. For any questions about downloading, unziping and printing, see our illustrated user’s guide.

During our pattern testing phase, our testing team stressed the fact that it was not that easy to visualize the third step of the instructions leaflet, in which we create the pleats and twist on the front of the blouse. So we have made a short video tutorial to show you how we do it !
Please note that, although the voice is in French, we have added subtitles in English.
