My Romantic Blouse pattern is meant to go with the jumper you can make from the Romantic Era Dress pattern, but it is also versatile enough to use for other eras. The blouse is definitely an “inspired by” creation and not meant to be period authentic. Made in heirloom fabrics with long sleeves and lace trimming, it works beautifully with the 1830s jumper. Made in a sturdier shirting material with short sleeves, it looks very retro-1949! You can also trim it with wide lace at the collar and cuffs and tuck the shirt into the “Beatrix” Skirt for a very “Armistice Day” look. This is a fun pattern to use to create a wide variety of styles.
- Sizes XS, S, M, L, XL (essentially 6-24) all included in one envelope.
- Illustrated instructions make construction easy!
- Options for long, cuffed sleeves and short cap sleeves.
- All-in-one collar makes this an easy blouse to put together.

Such a pretty blouse. Would you say this is an easy, intermediate or hard pattern?

Hello, LadyD! The only tricky part for most beginning seamstresses is the collar. I’d say this is intermediate, but a beginner could easily make it with a little assistance.

Hello, Kella! It’s voile, which is sheer and soft. Hope that helps!

Hello! The model wore a camisole of her own. I do have a camisole option going into my new Edwardian Undies pattern that is in the finishing stages now, but you can also check PastPatterns.com, as they have one, too.
