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.

Using This Fabric in Your Next Project
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.
