Taika Blouse Dress
Taika is a timeless midi-length blouse dress with half sleeves and gathered sleeve openings. This lightly fitted shirt dress sewing pattern features a V-neck and a button closure. The curved waist seam runs below the bust at the front, and the gathers at the bust and center back give volume and shape to the bodice, while the vertical seams of the skirt flatter and contour the body.
