Combining clean lines and sophistication, the Tempête blouse has a very feminine drape. The pattern plays on pleats, proportions and a trompe l’oeil collar effect. The sleeves can be long and constructed with stitched pleats and a buttoned cuff, like a blouse. You can also sew the Tempête blouse without sleeves, with impeccable armhole finishing, for a very elegant little top to wear for any occasion.
