The elastic at the neckline allows you to adjust the width of the neckline to your liking.

The hip-length of the blouse allows you to choose between a loose hem width or a snug look with incorporated elastic. The loose hem width also pairs well when tucked into pants, creating a distinctive look.

"Ida" features straight sleeves that are wide-cut and offers four different length options: short, 3/4, 7/8, and long. You have the option to gather the sleeve hems with elastic for a beautiful balloon effect. Additionally, the pattern includes a closer-fitting 3/4 sleeve with a stylish flounce.

To ensure a beautiful drape for the blouse, it is recommended to choose soft fabrics like viscose woven fabric or crêpe georgette. "Ida" is also excellent as a lightweight sheer blouse that you can wear over a top in the summer or as a beach blouse for your vacation.

Materials List

For Ida, soft-draping woven fabrics are suitable, with viscose and silk fabrics being particularly good choices. Crêpe Georgette is also an excellent option.

Cotton woven fabrics are quite stiff and do not drape as nicely. For cotton fabrics, you can insert elastic at the hem to gather it and prevent it from standing away from the body. In such cases, you can still use these fabrics.

The table below indicates how much fabric you'll need to sew your blouse, assuming a fabric width of 145 cm. Additionally, you'll need lightweight (interfacing) for the neck facings (G710, H180). If your cotton fabric is stiffer, you can choose to sew the blouse without interfacing.

Main Fabric: 104 to 148 cm (depending on sleeve length and size)
Interfacing: 26 cm
Optional: 2nd Fabric for facings and flounce
Elastic: 10 mm for neckline and hem, and 5 mm for sleeve hems
