Featuring buttons, a lovely shawl collar and a choice of three sleeve lengths.
You get two blouses in one with this pattern: sew up the double-ended darts at the front and back for a beautifully fitted version, or ignore the darts to create a contemporary boxy shape.
Wear either version with jeans for a great everyday look, or try the fitted Lilian Blouse over the Ultimate Trousers or tucked into the Peggy Trousers or Ultimate Pencil Skirt for a touch of vintage.
We've given you three sleeves to choose from: short, 3/4 length or a long sleeve with a narrow cuff.
So you can wear your Lilian Blouse all year round!
Lilian is perfect in a light fabric with good drape, such as viscose or crepe, and if you're sewing the fitted version with the extra darts, you could also use a cotton lawn for a crisp look - it'll be easier to sew too! Our Pattern Insiders made so many beautiful versions using a variety of fabric types.
