Belle Épine Blouse - Sewing Pattern | Maison Fauve

Belle Épine is a little top with bohemian charm and a decidedly summery look. Delicate and very feminine, it stands out with its dart detail that radiates across the chest, its V-neckline in the front and back (the cutout of which allows you to wear a bra), its pretty tie straps, and it's shaped and gathered ruffle. The pattern is fully lined, and the top underneath is constructed with classic bust darts. An unlined version is also possible, thanks to neckline cleaning pieces. The perfect companion for hot summer days, the pattern is available in several versions: with or without a ruffle, with or without lining, so you can vary your model as you wish.  This sewing pattern is very easy to sew, with pretty finishes, in short... Irresistible!

Openwork fabrics like lace are also interesting because the pattern includes a lining.
