£12.00 – £19.00

Buy the Aisling Blouse sewing pattern from Jennifer Lauren Handmade. The Aisling Blouse is a modern take on the classic square necklines of the 60s. With an optional collar, Aisling also comes with your choice of a full button-down or cut-on-the-fold bodice. Gently shaped at the bust with darts (E and F cups have a double bust dart), Aisling lightly flares in an A-line shape from the bust down. The long blouson-style sleeves end at the wrist with a comfortable elastic hem – gathered enough for a little drama while still the perfect everyday sleeve. Wear Aisling tucked into high-waisted skirts for a chic office look or free flowing with a pair of skinny jeans for the weekend.

Sizing: UK 6 – 24 with A – D cups or UK 16 – 34 with C – F cups. Please check the size chart and finished garment measurements.

Note: There is a crossover of 2 cups (C and D) and 5 sizes (16 – 24) between the Original and Curve size ranges. The Original and Curve patterns are based on two different blocks, and because of this, the shape, ease and proportions of the crossover patterns vary depending on the block used. Please check both size charts if you fall into this range.

To determine your cup size, wear supportive undergarments, then keeping your tape measure parallel to the floor (make sure it is not dipping at the back), measure both your full bust (the widest part of your bust, all the way around) and your high bust (the upper part of your bust around and under the arm pits). Use the difference between these measurements to determine your approximate cup size: A cup = 1 cm (3/8″), B cup = 3 cm (1 1/4″), C cup = 5 cm (2″), D cup = 7.5 cm (3″), E cup = 10 cm (4″), F cup = 12.5 cm (4 7/8″). Then, to determine your bodice size, find your full bust measurement (or closest to) along your corresponding cup row on the size chart.

Notions: Lightweight fusible interfacing, approx. 110 cm x 68 cm (43 1/4″ x 29 3/4″); 8 mm (5/16″) wide elastic // View 1: 1.5 cm (5/8″) wide buttons or snaps, 5 for 6-24 or 7 for 16-34.
