NAMED CLOTHING • Helmi Blouse & Dress Sewing Pattern
Named Clothing Helmi Blouse & Dress Sewing Pattern. Designed in Finland by Named Clothing the Helmi sewing pattern includes two variations: The straight-cut blouse has elements from the classic trench coat, such as the cape and sleeve straps. The rounded collar and slightly curved hem with slits add a touch of soft femininity to this shirt.
The more streamlined tunic variation is also straight-cut and has a simple stand-up collar, half sleeves, and a curved hem. Both variations have a discreet and elegant hidden button placket.
