Maison Fauve - Missive Blouse

About the Missive Blouse

If romance were a garment... it would be MISSIVE. Light and airy, beautifully crafted and with exquisite finishes, this elegant blouse is full of irresistible charm. A graceful neckline, statement sleeves available in two variations, and a beautifully structured silhouette created by shaped shoulder yokes and delicate gathers all come together to make it truly special. A love letter to sewing, MISSIVE is a pattern to fall head over heels for!

Key techniques include creating neat, even gathers, applying the neckline bias binding with a beautifully pointed finish, sewing the sleeve plackets, and constructing the cuffs.
