Ready to Sew Henriette Blouse

Buy the Henriette Blouse sewing pattern from Ready to Sew. Henriette captures the elegance of a 19th-century blouse with its delicate pintucks, puffed sleeves, and high neckline, while giving it a modern twist with its short, boxy fit. The pleats, formed directly on the fabric before cutting, are surprisingly easy to sew. Wear it with jeans for a romantic look, or layer it under a cardigan for a touch of sophistication. Henriette is a timeless, versatile blouse that transcends trends.

Suggested fabrics: Choose a soft cotton poplin, linen, or a linen/cotton blend with a weight between 120 and 150 gsm. Lighter fabrics such as silk or tencel can also be used, but the pintucks will be more challenging to sew. Opt for a fabric with similar right and wrong sides, as part of the button placket will show the wrong side.
