Fabric Recommendations - Although the pattern recommends using lightweight linen, any lightweight woven fabric can be used. However, if you opt for a stiffer material such as cotton lawn, the neckline may appear narrower and the hemline may be more voluminous. It is best to choose a fabric with no discernible wrong side for the short sleeve option.
6️⃣ Friday Pattern Company - Patina Blouse
The Patina Blouse is a charming button-up top with a collar, a V-neckline, and full sleeves. The pattern offers a choice of short or long sleeves, with cuffs and continuous bound plackets. It also comes with two options for neckline depth.

Fabric Recommendations - Light to medium weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, chambray, blends etc. are recommended for the quilted versions B, D & F.
Avoid thick fabrics or these versions can become bulky. Medium weight fabrics such as linen, cottons etc or medium to heavy weight coating fabrics such as boiled, felted or suiting wool are recommended for Views A, C & E. Prequilted fabrics are suitable for all views.
8️⃣ Style Arc - Mildred Jumpsuit

Fabric Recommendations - Linen, Cord, Drill, Crepe or Denim.
9️⃣ Named Clothing - Kielo Wrap Dress & Jumpsuit
The Kielo dress and jumpsuit patterns offer a chic and comfortable style that you can easily make your own. Both variations can be sewn with or without sleeves, and the dress pattern includes a neckband and a vent at the back hem for ease of movement. The sleeveless version of the dress features armholes finished with bias binding. The jumpsuit pattern includes a vent with a button closure at the back and a neckline finished with a facing.
Fabric Recommendations - drapey yet sturdy jersey fabric that has about 30-50% stretch. However, be mindful that the garment already has a significant amount of volume, so using a fabric that is too stretchy or heavy can alter the proportions and cause the garment to lose its shape.
