The Louise Blouse & Dress Sewing Pattern by Maéli Paris is a romantic, bohemian-inspired design featuring delicate gathers, voluminous balloon sleeves and a charming ruffled neckline.

Designed with a relaxed silhouette for comfortable everyday wear, Louise can be sewn as either a blouse or dress. The gathered front and back create soft volume, while small ties at the neckline and cuffs add a refined handmade finish.

Wear the blouse tucked into jeans, layered under overalls or paired with shorts in warmer weather. The dress version creates an equally easy and feminine wardrobe piece.

Recommended Fabrics

Choose light- to medium-weight woven fabrics with enough stability to make the gathered neckline easier to sew.

• Cotton
• Cotton poplin
• Linen
  
• Cotton voile with some body
• Lightweight woven cotton

Very fluid fabrics such as viscose are not recommended, as they may make the delicate gathered collar construction more difficult.

Louise is also well suited to upcycling. Vintage cotton sheets, floral tablecloths and lightweight curtains can create beautiful one-of-a-kind versions.
