The CICADELLA blouse is a pattern imbued with poetry: its volume delicately outlines the bust thanks to the princess seams, while its scooped neckline cuts into the nape and lifts the neck. The long sleeves with worked cuffs are the hallmark of this timeless, feminine design.

The pattern features a very high level of finishing adapted to openwork fabrics, with the option of fully lining the bust, neckline and armhole seams trimmed with bias tape and seam allowances for joining your pieces with English / flat felled seams on the bust and sleeves.
