The 270 Metro Middy Blouse sewing pattern by Folkwear is a World War I-era inspired blouse combining military-influenced styling with the comfortable and practical silhouettes that became increasingly popular during the early 20th century.

This easy-wearing blouse features a loose, breezy fit, slightly belled sleeves, a V-neckline and a distinctive sailor collar. The flared hemline curves gently downward at the centre back, creating an elegant silhouette that can be worn tucked into a skirt or loose over trousers and other separates.

Make it in a lightweight fabric for a comfortable summer blouse, or choose a slightly heavier fabric to wear it as a lightweight jacket over a camisole or top. The sailor collar also provides a beautiful canvas for embroidery, ribbon, soutache braid, beading or other decorative techniques.
