The Tatin blouse/dress pattern
The instructions are in English and French.
Tatin is a feminine couture pattern , easy to sew and ultra-comforting to wear, available as a blouse or a slightly trapeze dress. With its Mao collar, split neckline, 3/4 balloon sleeves and low shoulders, it plays the casual elegance card. Finally, its loose fit makes it both stylish and absolutely comfortable , perfect for those who want to sew fast without sacrificing style.
Zero buttonholes, zero zips, just five pieces to assemble: a real sewing pleasure, even when inspiration fails. It's the kind of pattern that's as enjoyable to sew as it is to wear, and that can be repeated season after season.
A me-made wardrobe must-have to add to your pattern collection.
