Ornata blouse

price excl. VAT €8.00

“Ornata” from Latin means “covered with ornaments” and I think the name suits this design very well. The design is very much inspired by traditional Ukrainian embroidered blouses, in which most of the embroidery is done on the sleeves. It might not be an everyday garment, but definitely a special one, especially for those of us coming from Eastern Europe.

The blouse has a relaxed, slightly oversized fit with a bit of exaggerated wide sleeves. Both body and sleeves are worked top down in the round and gathered at the hem/cuffs. There is also an option to finish the body with a folded hem with picots.

Sizes:

The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 94 (104, 116, 126, 139) (149, 161, 167, 177) cm // 37.25 (41, 45.75, 49.5, 54.75) (58.5, 63.25, 65.75, 69.5) in incl. ca. 20 cm (8 in) of recommended positive ease.
