The Ellsworth Blouse is lovely and swingy, as well as super comfortable. With its loose fitting style, you can focus on the neat design details of the half, pop-over button placket, collar and collar stand, cuffs and faced hem with a side slit.
It looks chic in a soft floaty fabric, like the one we have chosen for the kit, as it drapes and hangs to skim the body. Layer it up with a snuggly vest or turtle neck top for Autumn or re-use the pattern in summer with a light weight linen or double gauze fabric.
For this kit we have chosen three Autumnal colourways of this modern terrazzo style print on a buttery soft 100% viscose fabric. Its floaty with lots of drape so hangs well in the looser style of this garment.
Choose from Black, Navy and Ochre for the dominant background colour. Each print featured dashes of other colours to add interest and texture to the print.
This pattern in this kit is UK Sizes 6-18 (Bust measurement 30.75" - 41.75", Finished bust measurement 53.5" - 64.5").
For UK Sizes 18-28 please see the separate kit product below.
To see the garment modelled on different body shapes please follow this link.
Please note that the style and aesthetic of this garment is loose and oversized. If you are falling between the UK 6-18 and UK 18-28 size range we suggest you look at the finished garment measurements.
For reference in the modelled images, Lauren sized down two sizes and shortened the front and back length by 5cm/2" of the navy and ochre colour-way. The black colourway has been made according to the body measurements, , and is therefore more oversized.
