Patrón de Blusa y Vestido Positano de Liesl Gibson

I love how the gathered raglan sleeves give the finished dress such a relaxed, flowy silhouette—the elastic at the wrists keeps it practical without losing that romantic feel. The instructions for the yoke darts were clear enough for me to get a neat fit on my first try.

The V-neck notch is a nice detail that elevates the peasant blouse silhouette without making the pattern harder to sew. I've already made three versions—two as tops and one as a dress—and each came together in an afternoon. The shoulder darts give just enough shaping to keep it from looking frumpy.

I love how the gathered raglan sleeves with elastic at the wrists give this pattern such a comfortable, put-together look without being fussy. The instructions for the shoulder darts were clear enough that even as a casual sewer I got a great fit on my first try.
