Comfort and style are mutually exclusive? Not with The Gloria Blouse! You can wear the loosely cut blouse both in everyday life and in the office. The large patch pockets make the modern look of the blouse. Tip: Plain fabrics are super suitable for beginners at the sewing machine. Fabrics with patterns are suitable for advanced students, because here it is important that the individual pattern pieces are cut and sewn correctly, so that the pattern continues.

You want the perfect fit?

There is nothing more frustrating than when a homemade garment ends up fitting poorly. That’s over now! Because when you take the time to sew a garment yourself, you deserve it to be perfect. That’s why our sewing patterns are now also available “Customized to your measurements”. How does it work? Order the sewing pattern “Customized to your measurements”, measure yourself according to our instructions and enter your current measurements in our form. Our designers then construct your individual pattern. You will receive it within 1 to maximum 2 weeks after filling out the form as paper pattern or digital pattern by email and can start sewing without fear that your garment will not fit in the end as expected.

Size chart
Find the perfect size for you simply by using our size chart. Measure your chest, waist and hip circumference and check the chart to see which size most closely matches your own measurements. With the blouse pay attention especially to the chest circumference. The blouse is very wide and straight cut, so not every millimeter matters here
