Sewing Therapy Arles Top

Buy the Arles Top sewing pattern from Sewing Therapy. Arles is a relaxed and romantic blouse inspired by the warm, sun-soaked charm of Arles, the southern French town made famous by Vincent van Gogh. It features gathered details above the bust and at the back yoke. Both views have a tie at the front waist and elastic at the back waist for an adjustable fit and playful finish. View A features a softly rounded collar, while View B has no collar. Whether you're enjoying a tranquil afternoon in Provence or getting through a busy morning at the office, Arles fits in beautifully everywhere.

Bonus: The collar is compatible with the Roma Top, offering even more options for you to personalise your look.
