Brindille blouse/dress pattern (34-52)
The Brindille blouse/dress pattern
The instructions are in English and French.
Brindille is the blouse or dress you can sew in a flash and slip into your suitcase this summer!
The garment has short kimono sleeves and a drawstring at the waist. The latter is tightened by ties that form a pretty bow on each side of the blouse or dress.
The neckline is available in round or V-neck versions. Finished with bias binding, the garment is very easy to care for.
Finally for the dress version, this one has a slit on each side, which will allow you to be free of any movement 👌
