Blouse plissée Henriette

Henriette Pleated Blouse

Ready to Sew

Henriette is a loose, romantic blouse inspired by early nineteenth-century undergarments. It features a gathered neckline, delicate pintucks and long softly puffed sleeves, with an optional version finished with scalloped embroidered lace at the neckline and cuffs.

Difficulty
Intermediate
Recommended fabric
Choose a soft cotton poplin, linen, or a linen/cotton blend with a weight between 120 and 150 g/m². Lighter fabrics such as silk or Tencel can also be used, but the pintucks will be more challenging to sew accurately.
Preferably use a fabric with a similar right and wrong side, as part of the button placket will show the wrong side.
