Description
Introducing Taika, a timeless and elegant blouse dress sewing pattern that exudes sophistication and style. This midi-length dress features flattering half sleeves with gathered sleeve openings, adding a touch of feminine charm. The lightly fitted silhouette of the shirt dress showcases a classic V-neckline and a button closure, creating a polished and refined look.
The curved waist seam, positioned below the bust at the front, enhances the figure and accentuates the waistline. With gathers at the bust and centre back, the bodice gains volume and shape, while the vertical seams of the skirt beautifully flatter and contour the body. Taika is designed to be a versatile and flattering garment that stands the test of time. Dress it up or down for various occasions and make a statement with its timeless elegance.
Recommended fabric
Light to mid weight non-stretch shirting fabric. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you can either opt for a drapey fabric, such as viscose or tencel, or a less drapey one like lightweight cotton or linen shirting.
