P & M Patterns - Ethel Dress and Blouse
About the Ethel Dress and Blouse
Either a blouse or a dress with a boho and chic flair, ETHEL is the core garment of your wardrobe.
Its design is not only perfect for every body shape, but the many aspects of this design will please the beginner seamstress, thanks to its quick execution and easiness, as well as the more advanced seamstress who will enjoy the blank canvas this pattern provides.
The variations offered by ETHEL can lead to many different makes:
- Bodice with two cutting line heights: WAIST, slightly below the natural waist, or EMPIRE, under the bust,
- 3 neckline types: JEWEL, V, or WRAP,
- Blouse with SINGLE or DOUBLE-LAYER peplum,
- SHORT dress WITH or WITHOUT ruffle, hits above the knee,

- And, just for the fun, a plethora of sleeve types:
- LONG sleeves
- ¾ sleeves
- HALF sleeves
- CAP sleeves
- BISHOP sleeves
- BUTTERFLY sleeves

ETHEL’s versatility makes it extremely addictive…You’ve been warned!
