Button-Up Blouse with Bishop Sleeves

A classic button-up blouse with a romantic twist, this pattern pairs a familiar front button placket with long bishop sleeves that fall softly from the shoulder and gather into a neat cuff. It is drafted for women who want a everyday shirt shape with a little more volume and movement through the arm, making it as suitable for a quiet weekend as it is for the office.

The design works beautifully in fabrics with drape, such as viscose, rayon challis, cotton lawn, crepe or a lightweight linen blend, which let the sleeve collapse gently above the cuff rather than standing away from the arm. Crisper cottons give a sharper, more tailored result if a structured look is preferred. Wear it tucked into tailored trousers or a skirt, layered under a knit, or loose over jeans for a relaxed finish.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
