Buy the Helmi Trench Blouse and Tunic Dress sewing pattern from Named. The Helmi pattern includes two variations with details you can mix and match! The straight-cut blouse has elements from the classic trench coat, such as the cape and sleeve straps. The rounded collar and slightly curved hem with slits add a touch of soft femininity. The more streamlined tunic variation is also straight-cut and has a simple stand-up collar, half sleeves, and a curved hem. Both variations have a discreet and elegant hidden button placket.

Suggested fabrics: For both variations, choose a light weight or medium weight non-stretch shirting. Your fabric can either be drapey, such as rayon or Tencel, or a bit sturdier, such as cotton or linen. If your fabric is light, you can use it for the cape lining as well.
Fabric requirements: The fabric requirements include a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Note that the fabric consumption may be greater for fabrics with a pattern and for fabrics that need to be cut in one direction.
