CLEO Blouse

A feminine blouse that is extremely cozy thanks to its myriad of cute details. The V neckline ending at the top of a button placket underlines the cleavage delicately. The yoke triangular at the front and straight at the back is fully-lined for a perfect finish. The loose cut, but also the gathers under the yokes, bring coziness.

Two types of sleeves (both gathered at the shoulders) are offered: long sleeves with a buttoned gathered wrist or short puff sleeves tightened at the biceps by a length of elastic...

You will choose among 5 neckline finishings, all of them being beautiful:

- The ‘core’ neckline,

- The neckline with an oversized figurate collar pointing to the bust,

- The neckline with an oversized figurate collar with frills,

- The neckline with one large ruffle,

- The neckline with frills.

Other variations around the CLEO pattern are available with the CLEOSHIRT add-on (here).

A perfect opportunity to sew a plethora of CLEO blouses that will be timeless and unique!
