A blouse made for warm days

The LAYS blouse ticks every box for a summer essential: light, breathable, and endlessly versatile. Its silhouette plays on soft details and a relaxed, modern fit that’s just as enjoyable to sew as it is to wear.

What makes it special:

  • Delicate gathers that add soft volume for a feminine, refined look
  • A fabric belt to wear loose for a flowing effect, or tied to define the waist
  • A high-low hem that creates a flattering drape and modern movement
  • Simple construction that’s accessible for beginners yet enjoyable at any level

The kind of piece that takes you from morning coffee to evening drinks without missing a beat.

Perfect for beginners (or a quick treat)

No need to be an expert. The LAYS delivers a professional finish without the intimidating steps. No tricky zippers, no stressful assembly — just soft gathers, clean seams, and a result you’ll be proud of.

In about 1.5 hours, you’ll have a blouse that looks straight out of a boutique. And since it comes in 8 sizes, from XS to 4XL, it truly fits a wide range of body shapes.

Which fabrics to choose?

This is where the LAYS really shines. Go for light, flowing fabrics that show off the gathers and the drape of the hem:

  • Viscose — for a fluid drape and comfortable wear
  • Light cotton or cotton voile — ideal for the hottest days
  • Crepe or printed fabrics — like the pink leopard print in our sample, perfect for a statement piece
  • Tencel / Lyocell — soft, breathable, and eco-friendly

A bold print like leopard gives the blouse plenty of character, while a solid color makes it a go-anywhere basic. Make several!
