The Lori Dress & Blouse combines relaxed comfort with thoughtful design details to create an effortlessly stylish wardrobe staple. Designed with an oversized silhouette, Lori features wide half-length sleeves finished with delicate pleats at the cuffs, adding a soft and feminine touch to the easy fit.

Distinctive seam lines create visual interest, with horizontal yokes above the bust at the front and back, complemented by vertical seams running through the centre front and back. Two back variations allow you to customise the shape to suit your style: choose multiple small pleats for a more oversized, flowing silhouette, or a single central pleat for a slightly neater fit. A neat collar completes the design, adding just enough structure to balance the relaxed shape.

Whether sewn as a blouse or dress, Lori works beautifully in softly draping fabrics and is a versatile pattern you'll enjoy wearing throughout the year.

Important to Know: Atelier Jupe patterns are designed to be traced before use. The pattern pieces are overlapping and printed on both sides of the sheet, so tracing is essential.

This approach allows you to preserve the original sheet, make multiple sizes, and easily adjust the fit as you go. You can use tracing paper, baking parchment, or thin wrapping paper – or we can supply you with spot and cross pattern paper to make the job even easier.

Suggested Fabrics: Choose a light to medium weight fabric such as viscose, fine cotton, Tencel, polyester or linen.
