Clématisse Patterns - Ella Blouse | Dress (French Instructions)

About the Ella Dress | Blouse

The Ella pattern is a women's sewing design in a chic bohemian style, both flowing, feminine and comfortable.  Thanks to its raglan armholes, Ella offers a flattering cut that suits all body shapes. Its fullness gives a soft drape and optimal everyday comfort.  The sleeves with elasticated ruffle add a romantic, on-trend touch, perfect for a modern bohemian look.  In addition to the option of a blouse or dress, there are SO MANY other options to make your special 'Ella':

3 neckline versions
Version A: V-neckline with fixed tie (customizable with beads), back with slit and button
Version B: V-neckline with double tie, to wear tied or open for a bohemian effect
Version C: closed round neckline, for a more chic and clean finish, with back slit

3 sleeve lengths
Short sleeves
3/4 sleeves
Long sleeves

Each version is gathered with an integrated elastic, creating a pretty ruffle at the sleeve hem.
