Description

The Regalia Blouse combines ease and style with its gathered, puffy sleeves and high collar. Despite the detailed design, it maintains a laid-back look. The blouse is comfortable thanks to its spacious bodice and slips on over the head with a tie at the back keyhole. It features front and back yokes and a stand-up collar.

There are two lengths and two sleeve styles available for customisation. Options include a cropped, flowy hem ideal for pairing with high-waisted trousers and skirts or a slightly longer version perfect for tucking in, complete with an optional waist tie. The long sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and taper to the wrist, while the short sleeves also gather at the shoulder and into a cuff just above the elbow. An optional tulle sleeve head pouf is available to give the sleeves extra volume.

Recommended Fabric

Lightweight woven fabrics such as, cotton voile, cotton lawn, cotton double gauze, cotton shirting, cotton Swiss dot, and linen.

Be aware: Looser weave fabrics such as linen and gauze will result in a slightly looser fitting garment.

Notions

• Lightweight fusible interfacing
