Description
The Silhouette blouse sewing pattern features a fitted design with princess seams and a front hook closure, with an option for ties. The Trumpet sleeve has a slight flare, a high two-layer cuff, and front slits (optional). All Puff and Pencil sleeves fit the Silhouette blouse, though it isn’t compatible with their collars. The Trumpet sleeve fits all their blouses and dresses.
Recommended Fabric
This pattern is made for woven fabrics. For a crisp appearance, choose a fabric with structure that doesn't drape too softly. For a more elegant, feminine style, opt for fabrics with a nice drape. If you're unsure, poplin, woven viscose, and cotton twill are all excellent choices for this blouse.
