Vivian Shao Chen Nepheline Blouse Sewing Pattern PDF

The Vivian Shao Chen Nepheline Blouse is a loose-fitting blouse with an A-line silhouette. It is designed to be a voluminous, billowy, oversized blouse. There is ample ease throughout the bust and waist. The sleeves are three-quarter length and feature tucks that create texture and shape. The blouse length allows it to be worn untucked or tucked into high-waisted bottoms.

There are two views included in this pattern:
View A has a high neckline.
View B has a lower scooped neckline, trimmed with a ruffle.

Please choose your preferred A0 print out size (either B Cup or D Cup) from the dropdown menu below. You will receive the PDF files for all sizes.

A physical print out of the instruction booklet will NOT be included. You can view the instruction booklet on your device at home, print it out at home, or add the 'printed pattern instructions' product (see link below) to your order and we will print it for you.

Fabric

The Nepheline Blouse pattern is designed for woven fabrics. It works best for lightweight fabrics. Choose a lightweight fabric such as cotton lawn, batiste, voile, silk crepe de chine, silk georgette. Midweight fabrics will also work and create a sturdier blouse. Choose a cotton poplin or plain-woven linen. Keep in mind the ruffles will be less finely defined if using a midweight fabric.
