This is a sewing pattern and instructions for a simple stand-collar blouse (long sleeves) with no darts and only basic seams.
Since long sleeves were requested, the base design is the same as the short-sleeve version.
The pattern has a straight silhouette with minimal shaping, and it is drafted as a unisex design.
The men's size pattern has a wider shoulder width.
After printing, align the joining lines, tape the pages together, and cut out the pattern. The seam allowances are already included, so you can use it as is.
What are “Grainline” and “Cut on fold”? Please refer to this page.
