Description
This elegant and easy-to-sew peasant blouse or dress includes full, gathered raglan sleeves with elastic at the wrists, a gentle V-neck notch, and a gathered yoke with shoulder darts for shaping. The dress includes short sleeves, side pockets, and a narrow tie that loops around the waist. You can make the tie as long as you like in order to wrap it multiple times, and you can customize this style to your preference, swapping the sleeve lengths if you prefer. This style is also suitable for embroidery or other embellishment. It can be worn as a casual blouse, draped dress, or even a swimsuit coverup.
Suggested Fabrics
This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton voile, lawn, poplin, chambray, linen, and rayon.
Notions
Coordinating thread, lightweight fusible interfacing, 1/2 yard of 3/8" elastic.

Very versatile!Reviewed by Lillibean (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/25/2024Very versatile. Honestly way more attractive in real life….NOT more attractive than the model! just pleased all of us. Adapted to lots of shapes and sizes. Can hardly wait to do in flannel—-if winter ever comes back. Thank you for the design and quick shipping. So appreciate your website.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?From the Discussion Forums
