Vikisews Nitzan Blouse

Buy the Nitzan Blouse sewing pattern from Vikisews. Nitzan is a semi-fitted blouse with a straight silhouette and gentle shaping at the sides. The front features bust darts, and the back features shoulder darts as well as a centre back seam with a finished opening at the top for the fastening. The shoulder line is accentuated with shoulder pads and optional sleeve heads. Nitzan features a tall stand collar with horizontal draped pleats. The collar fastens with rouleau loops and buttons. The long set-in sleeves have lots of volume thanks to a generous gathering at the cap and a smaller gathering at the bottom. The sleeves are finished with long cuffs that fasten with rouleau loops and buttons. Nitzan is below-hip length.
