The Ngaio Blouse (pronounce Ny-e-o, with the e almost silent), named for Dame Ngaio Marsh, playwrite and novelist, is an elegant 1930s inspired blouse with a modern twist.
The front features a V-neck and a gathered upper bodice, with pattern pieces for Small (A-B), Medium (C-DD/E) & Large (F+) busts. Back darts provide shaping below the waist so the top skims the waist and sits snugly on the hips. The darts release at the waist creating a blouson upper back. The top pulls on over the head, making for an easy closure-free sew.
View A is sleeveless, View B has short sleeves.

The Ngaio Blouse is designed for soft, lightweight fabrics with moderate to high drape, such as: cotton lawns; cotton & linen voiles; cotton, wool, & viscose/rayon challis; silk, viscose/rayon, synthetic, & very lightweight wool crepes; and charmeuse satin.
