MAIN FABRIC
2 CORD END TUBE CLASPS (Optional)

___________

This blouse is designed for lightweight woven fabrics with a soft drape, allowing the central ruching to fall naturally and create elegant gathers without bulk.

Recommended fabrics

Choose fabrics that are fluid, soft, and pleasant against the skin:

Viscose / rayon
Tencel™ / lyocell (woven)
Silk crepe de chine
Silk satin (lightweight)
Silk habotai
Lightweight cotton voile or cotton lawn
Lightweight linen or linen-viscose blends
Cupro

These fabrics enhance the gathered effect at the center front and give the blouse a soft, feminine silhouette.

For a dressier version

For an evening or more refined look, opt for:

Silk satin
Washed silk
Fluid satin-finish viscose

The natural sheen of these fabrics highlights the ruching beautifully.

Fabrics to avoid

Avoid fabrics that are too stiff, thick, or lack drape, as they will not gather well and may create excess volume:

Heavy cottons (canvas, poplin, twill)
Thick linen
Denim
Stiff jacquard
Fabrics with strong structure or body

Stretch fabrics and knits are also not recommended, as the pattern is designed for woven fabrics only.

Sewing your own garment means you are the creator of your piece — feel free to experiment with fabrics not mentioned here, and the result can be beautiful. Don’t hesitate to explore and try different options.
This list is provided as a guideline — not all suitable fabrics are listed.

_________

We indicate, as a reference, the necessary quantity for a fabric 150CM wide /59” with a directional print/nap for a size XXXL:
1.50 meters / 59 inches

The amount of fabric needed for your pattern depends on the pattern size, the width and design of the fabric you plan to use.

_________

We offer a free service to assist with placing pattern pieces on the fabric to minimize waste.

To provide us with the necessary information, send us a message or contact us through the chat.

Kindly include the width of your fabric, specify whether the print is directional or non-directional, the size and the name of the pattern.
