Frida Blouse and Dress sewing pattern by Sew Over It.
Size 6-8-10-12-14-16-18-20-22-24-26-28-30
See the sizing guide in the image gallery for more sizing information.
The Frida Blouse & Dress is easy to wear, comfy yet sophisticated. Inspired by the peasant style blouses and dresses worn by Frida Kahlo, it suits all shapes and ages. We wanted to create a simple sewing pattern that works in different types of fabric. Make it in cotton for a boxy shape or in drapey fabrics like viscose and Tencel for more movement, especially in the dress version.
Frida features a front and back yoke, with pleats on both sides of the bodice and a choice of two sleeves: a simple short sleeve for warmer weather or a long one with fuller gathers at the shoulder and elastic at the wrists, perfect for autumn and spring. The blouse looks great over jeans or smart trousers like our Ultimate Trousers and the dress can be made in a mini or midi length. Wear it with sandals or pumps in the summer or with tights and boots in the autumn.
Make your Frida in a fun patterned fabric or use a plain one to highlight the pleat details and add a statement necklace for a smarter look. You can also have fun customising Frida with embroidery, ribbon or piping around the yoke to make your peasant style blouse and dress truly unique!
We recommend sewing the Frida Blouse or Dress in light to medium weight fabrics with lots of drape such as rayon/viscose, double gauze, broderie anglaise, crepe or Tencel. Cottons with a soft handle, like cotton voile, lawn or Swiss dot, will also work.
The Frida Blouse and Dress is available in the following formats (just select the one you want from the drop down menu):
If you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.
Please note that we don’t print the instructions. These will be emailed to you as a PDF‚ along with the digital pattern files‚ when we dispatch your paper pattern.
Occasionally some large pattern pieces may be split across two A0 sheets and will need to be joined together.
