LE 600 - Blouse with box pleats and elasticated waist

"With its box pleats placed like a fan at the front, the romanticism of this shirt will win many a heart. The rather unusual sleeve on this model is partly in one with the front as one of the pleats continues onto the sleeve. The back is partly open on centre back, revealing the skin and the waist is fitted thanks to the use of elastic. Many fabrics are possible for making it but we recommend fluid ones of a certain weight to lend fullness to the pleats for them to hang better." - Difficulty: 2/3 - The pattern includes sizes 36-48. - Sewing instructions in English and French with very detailed illustrations and step-by-step guiding. - See info about fabric usages on image to the left. dp Studio is founded by French Dominique Pellen.
