Linen Blouse with Bishop Sleeves and Back Buttons

This blouse pattern brings together soft volume and quiet detail. Long bishop sleeves gather into the cuff for a gentle billowing shape, while a row of buttons down the back keeps the front line clean and uninterrupted. It suits women who like classic silhouettes with a considered finish, and it reads as a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or kept relaxed.

Linen is the natural first choice here, giving the sleeves their characteristic drape and the body a breathable, lived-in texture. Lighter linen blends and other soft woven fabrics suit the style just as well. Wear it to the office with tailored trousers, pair it with a slip skirt for an evening out, or keep it easy with jeans on warm weekend afternoons.

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.
