Named Clothing: Syli Dress & Blouse

A paper sewing pattern by Finnish indie pattern company Named Clothing.

The Syli dress and blouse are relaxed everyday garments with a loose fit. Both variations feature a gathered bodice, a shallow tuck across the chest and a hemline that dips slightly longer in back. The neckline is finished with binding with a back vent secured by ties. The calf-length dress has two deep tucks around the hemline of both the skirt and sleeves as well as in-seam side pockets. The ¾-length sleeves of the dress have gathered ends finished with binding and ties. The blouse is hip length and has straight ½-length sleeves with turned hems.

Fabric & Notions: Choose a light to medium-weight, non-stretch fabric. Depending on the desired result, you can select either a low-drape fabric or a fabric with a little drape. Cotton, linen, Tencel and rayon shirtings or dress-weight fabrics are recommended.

The pattern envelope contains sizes XS-XXL which runs from a 29 1/8" to a 51 5/8" chest. It has quite a lot of ease so you may wish to size down based on the finished garment measurements.

Skill level is 3/5 - Intermediate
