Seashore Blouse (EN)

€6.90

The Seashore Blouse is a light and airy piece with a touch of seaside romance. The blouse features an all-over lace pattern and a clean silhouette which makes it easy to wear. It has elegant hem and cuff details and a minimal I-cord neckline for a contemporary feel. The design is unique and timeless, and it’s the kind of garment that feels like something you could’ve picked up at a dreamy coastal market.

The blouse is worked seamlessly top down. The construction is divided into different lace stitch sections, making it an engaging project that stays interesting without being overly complex. While it’s lovely on its own, the Seashore Blouse also pairs with the Seashore Skirt to create a matching set that feels effortless and chic, perfect for slow summer days, or coastal escapes. Whether styled as a set or worn separately, this blouse adds a touch of refined texture to your handmade wardrobe.
