Roho Blouse by Coffee and Thread

Hello!! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have already heard me rave about the newest pdf pattern by Coffee and Thread, the Roho Blouse.

Its no secret that I love a good sleeve, and this blouse definitely fits the bill. This blouse is a loose fitting raglan sleeve top with some amazing details.

Lets first look at that sleeve. The pleated shoulder gives shape up top and then allows it to flare out. The bottom of the sleeve is gathered together with an elastic cuff.

I used 3/4″ elastic for the cuff, but I think it would also be fun to experiment with skinnier elastic as well. The pattern does give cut lines for a short sleeve and a 3/4 sleeve.

The pattern also gives options for finishing the hem. I chose to use the elastic hem option. I used 1 inch elastic and I love how it can change the look of top.

As for fabric, I have been hanging onto this fabric for some time. I found it at our local Mill End store and it was perfect for this project. It is a rayon blend with a lot of drape. I wish I could order more of it; it is dreamy!!

I have a couple of fun pattern hacks in mind for this pattern, so hopefully I can get to one or two of them before too long. But until then, I will fully enjoy wearing this one every time I want to leave my house feeling put together but want to be in comfort. Please tell me I am not the only one that likes to wear faux-fancy clothes when they go on date night 🙂
