The Clotilde Blouse & Dress Sewing Pattern by Maéli Paris is a feminine and refined design with a straight, slightly fitted silhouette.

Clotilde can be sewn as either a blouse or a gathered-panel dress. The pattern features a distinctive front bib with optional pleats, a button-front opening and two sleeve finishing options: a simple cuff or a ruffled cuff.

With its decorative bib and multiple fabric sections, Clotilde is also ideal for upcycling vintage sheets, tablecloths, embroidered fabrics and other special textiles.
