Emma blouse & dress

See the fabrics & supplies requirements chart among the pictures.

YOU WILL NEED:
- Fabric: The pattern is designed and tested for light- to medium weight knit fabrics with drape, and with approx. 20-50% stretch. I recommend viscose jersey, tencel jersey, modal jersey, bambu jersey and similar fabrics.

- Light-weight fusible interfacing with stretch (for example Vlieseline H609), to stabilise:
- the neckline (round): approx. 30 cm wide and 20 cm high (12x8”)
- the neckline (V-neck): approx. 30 cm wide and 28 cm high (12x11”)
- shoulder seams: two strips that are approx. 8 cm wide and 1 cm high (3x3/8”)
- pockets: four strips, approx. 2-3 cm wide and 18 cm high (1x7”)
- hem: two strips, up to 100 cm wide and 2 cm high (40x1”) (for a calf-length dress in size 50). Must not be continuous strips

- Approx. 1 cm (3/8”) wide elastic, only for the wide 3/4 sleeves with elastic. Approx. 60 cm (24”) in length.

- Sewing machine needle: Don’t forget to use the right needle for your fabric, for knit fabrics a stretch needle is usually recommended.

- Other useful materials: Coordinating thread, a safety pin, fabric marker, fabric scissors, needles/clips, tape measure.

See the size guide among the pictures.

Choose a size based on your body measurements: bust, waist and hip width. If all your measurements don’t point to the same size you may not need to mix sizes since Emma isn’t close-fitting. The blouse/dress has a generous fit and a lot of ease. If you still feel that you want to blend sizes, read our guide.

The pattern is designed for a woman who is 160-172 cm tall. If you’re taller or shorter you may need to lengthen/shorten the blouse/dress (Instructions are in the Sewing Instructions). B cup is assumed for all sizes.
