Amelie blouse PDF sewing pattern

The Amelie blouse is the perfect balance of romantic charm and everyday ease. With its billowy, flowy cut and dropped full-length sleeves with fitted cuffs, this blouse is as comfortable as it is flattering. Featuring a gathered front with a button placket, a band collar, and thoughtful design details, Amelie brings a touch of French-inspired elegance to your wardrobe. Ideal for any occasion, the Amelie blouse transitions seamlessly from casual to refined. Whether worn as a light cover-up for warm days or tucked into high-waisted trousers, it's a versatile staple for year-round style. View A offers a minimalistic, classic shirt design, while View B adds a romantic, vintage feel with a delicate flounce detail at the collar.

Size range: 
European 34-54
UK6-UK26
US2-US24

Sewing difficulty: 
This pattern is for experienced beginners. You’ll sew a band collar, construct a button placket, and create sleeve cuffs with a continuous bound sleeve placket. The instructions call for French seams, an elevated finish that gives your garments a professional feel. However, you’re free to use any seam finishing technique that suits your skill level.

Fabric suggestions: 
Choose a soft, lightweight woven fabric. The samples were made from various lightweight cottons around 75–100 gsm. For View B (the flounce version): Consider fabrics like Indian block prints, Japanese lightweight cottons, cotton voile, or similar materials. This style also works beautifully with cotton blends, such as cotton/silk or cotton/viscose. For View A (the band collar version): You can also opt for lightweight linen or slightly heavier fabrics.

Fabric requirements: (for a 130 cm/51” fabric width)
Size 34: 2 meters
Size 54: 3.1 meters 

Notions and tools 
•  View A-B: 10 buttons, 13 mm in diameter.
•  Sewing thread. I recommend Gütermann universal 100% polyester.
•  Sharp fabric scissors or rotary cutter, pins, and ruler.
•  Fabric marking pen or tailor’s chalk.
•  Interfacing for the button placket, band collar, and cuffs.

Chelsea: "This blouse is so dreamy and magical! The flounce at the collar and billowy sleeves feel so romantic, and it's a joy to construct and sew together. This uses a few techniques that take some time to complete (ex. buttonholes, sleeve cuffs, multi-step collar), and the end result feels well worth the effort. The blouse is both a delight to make and wear, and I can't wait to experiment with different collars and fabrics in the future."

Daniela: "The ultimate elegant-yet-comfortable blouse that makes me feel like a princess ready to fight dragons! The instructions are incredibly clear, and sewing this piece was such a satisfying experience.

It’s an ambitious project, but the result is absolutely stunning and well worth the effort!"

Ellie: "I adore this blouse! It's got a wonderful balance of delicacy with a billowy, oversized fit to blend beautifully into a very wearable garment day to day and equally into an occasion piece in a more special fabric. It was a straightforward project with beautiful finishes and details making it feel super special and it's nice to take the time over those elements such as the flounce, neckline and bias bound cuffs to get the finesse it deserves. I can see many more to come and plenty of variants!"

Emily: "Just the loveliest of patterns. The French seam instructions are so easy to follow, and there are so many other details, like the ruffle and collar.

Madison: "I’m always a fan of Silversaga patterns and love sewing them. This blouse was such a joy to sew. I love that the band collar challenged my skills because I don’t always sew those kinds of necklines but it turned out so well and the directions & illustrations were clear to follow without any issues completing them. I love the shape of the bodice. This is a great pattern for sewists wanting to branch out and have a truly classic style."

Marta: "The Amelie blouse is a romantic everyday essential that I know I'll wear frequently. Its oversized fit is balanced by the contrast of the tailored collar and cuffs, adding a touch of feminine charm to the relaxed silhouette. Jessica provides clear and precise instructions for assembling the blouse, and her time-tested techniques ensure a beautifully finished result. These methods can be applied to any shirtmaking project with great success."

The potential for different versions and hacks also makes this such a versatile pattern that you could make so many versions of which I appreciate. I love the end result so much."

Rimma: "Amelie is a beautiful romantic blouse with a lot of hacking potential. I loved sewing it, it was challenging enough to make it interesting, it made me slow down and appreciate the hand sewing in certain parts. I really love my finished blouse and definitely want to make more versions: one with a flounce and lace trim, another in a sheer fabric, and a dress version too!"

Satu: "Such a lovely blouse pattern which would be perfect for those hot summer days. Perfect with my high waisted jeans."

Sonya: "Another beautiful Silversaga pattern. The instructions are thorough but easy to follow, featuring sewing techniques that give you an elevated finish."

Stephanie: "The Amelie blouse is the perfect oversized blouse pattern to recreate your favorite look! It looks so different with different types of fabric, it's truly a versatile pattern with lots of hacking possibilities. I love my version in a lightweight viscose chambray, but it's also so incredibly lovely in a crisp lightweight cotton as well! The finishing techniques used for this top make for a truly couture final garment you can be sure to be proud of."

Stephanie: "This is a beautiful, romantic blouse that is a pleasure to sew! As with all of Jess' patterns it is thoughtfully drafted with a lot of attention to detail. The instructions are easy to follow with lots of potential to personalise this pattern. It might seem a to be a simple blouse but it's actually quite hard to achieve this specific cut and fit. The forward shoulder seam, the back gathers, the sleeve and bodice are all in perfect balance. I love to wear mine with the sleeves rolled up and tucked into a pair of high waisted bottoms."
