Sewing Pattern Tutorial: How to Sew the Péninsule Blouse?

The Péninsule dress is the epitome of elegance in the Le Rivage collection. With this hack, we’re introducing a new variation on this beautiful pattern: the Péninsule blouse.

Its pussy bow collar highlights the neckline, while its straight, relaxed fit features bust darts for subtle shaping. The refinement extends to the exquisite cuffs—long on the wrist and enhanced with a distinctive cutout. For those who prefer a more open neckline, the pattern also offers a collarless option with a delicate front slit tied with dainty strings.

Quick and more accessible in terms of sewing than the dress, less demanding in terms of fabric, and available according to your fashion desires in many fabrics, the Peninsule blouse is a wonderful variation on this pattern!

To sew this little marvel, we offer it to you in PDF format in the AW24 issue of L'Oeil Fauve magazine. These include the front and back bodice pieces, which, when combined with the Péninsule dress pattern, allow you to sew an entirely new garment. Instructions accompany this version, with all the details on fabric requirements and cutting layouts specific to the blouse.

A short video tutorial walks you through the unique steps for sewing the pussy bow blouse version of Péninsule. For common steps, such as preparing the collar and sleeves, and for more detailed instructions, we invite you to refer to the step-by-step video for the Péninsule dress.

Happy sewing!
