"Clove" - classic women's blouse
The blouse is brought close to the body with waist darts. The number of darts varies depending on the ratio of waist to hip measurement. If you have a very narrow waist with wider hips, up to four darts are included at the back so that Clove fits perfectly.
A yoke is added to the back shoulders. This also covers the collar on the inside.
The blouse is designed for woven fabrics without stretch and can actually be sewn from all blouse fabrics. The pictured blue blouse with long sleeves, for example, is made from a flowing viscose with bamboo and cotton, the red one with short sleeves is made from a rather stiff cotton fabric.
Nadeshiko is a pattern from my pattern maker. You can use your own measurements to calculate the pattern or simply choose from the ready-to-wear sizes 32-60. The result is a PDF in A4 format (or optionally A3, A2, A1 or A0) that you can print out at home, in a copy shop or in an online plottery.
