Moira Blouse & Dress Sewing Pattern, Wardrobe by Me

Softly romantic and effortlessly wearable, the Moira Blouse and Dress is a beautiful addition to any handmade wardrobe. Designed with a gently gathered neckline finished with ties, relaxed raglan sleeves and an easy silhouette, Moira feels feminine without being fussy. The pattern offers wonderful versatility - choose between a blouse or a tiered dress in mini, midi or maxi length, and finish with ½, ¾ or ⅞ - length sleeves to suit the season.

Moira works best in lightweight woven fabrics that allow the gathers to shine. For a more dramatic, sculptural look choose a crisp cotton, linen or silk. For a softer, fluid feel opt for viscose or Tencel, which will drape beautifully through the tiers.
