Clématisse Patterns - Laly Blouse | Dress (French Instructions)
About the Laly Blouse | Dress
The Laly blouse or dress is a timeless, elegant piece. The pretty details make all the difference: subtly gathered sleeves, elasticated cuffs, and a delicate front tie. The dress version has a slightly flared skirt. You can wear it loose or belted with a pretty leather belt or a fabric tie belt. This has no zippers or buttons, so it's easy to sew.
There are lots of options too:
- a clean collar, with no frills
- a ruffled collar, more bohemian
- short sleeves
- or long sleeves, subtly gathered and narrowed at the cuffs
General Notes:
- Instructions are in French
- Pointrine (cm) means Chest Measurement in cm; Tour de Taille en cm (au niveau le plus creux) means Waist Measurement in cm (at the smallest point); Bassin (cm) au point le plus fort des fesses means Hip measurement as the widest point.
- All technical drawings are in black and white and are very clear
- Pattern Pieces have English & French names & instructions (eg. Grainline, Pocket Placement, Cut Fabric x 2 etc.)
- Seam Allowances included + no overlapping pieces
- There is a Clématisse YouTube Channel where you can find a video tutorial. The commentary is in French, but you can turn on the translation feature. In reality, you probably will be fine by just watching the process.
