A Note About Product Colours

We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.

However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.

We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.

Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.

DESCRIPTION

Nice loose-fitting , lots of gathers, stand-up collar and also and two elegant shoulder yokes give Karma its undeniable style..

Customize it with eyelets or studs for a rock look, or simply play with your fabric's print to highlight the cutouts.

DETAILS

  • Karma blouse or short or long dress,

  • A tie belt for the dress versions,

  • Hidden or visible button placket on the front,

  • Shoulder yoke that can be customized or left as is:

    • If you want to customize Karma with rivets or claw nails, choose the “Hidden button placket” option so that the buttons are not visible on the front.

    • If you want visible buttons, choose the standard button placket.

  • Stand-up collar,

  • Shirt sleeves with slits at the cuffs,

PATTERN VERSIONS

  • 3 different lengths are available with the Karma pattern:
    Blouse, short dress and long dress.

  • The dress versions may be worn (or not) with the specific belt as suggested in the pattern.

SIZES

The Karma pattern ranges from size 34 to 46 (sizes 48 to 52 are currently being tested).

As usual, choose your size based on your measurements and the size chart below:

  • For a blouse version, it is mainly the bust measurement that needs to be taken into account, as the waist is not marked at all and the very straight blouse stops above the hips.

  • For a dress version, also check your hip measurement.

If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one, as it is easier to adjust a garment than to enlarge it!

However, please note that the Karma model is quite loose-fitting, so please also refer to the finished measurements of the garment (see table below).

GARMENT MEASUREMENTS WHEN DONE:

The 2 tables below give the garment measurements when done. They are somewhat larger than your body’s as they take some ease into account.

HEIGHT:

The pattern is designed for a height of 5'5".

As the pattern is very straight, if you need to lengthen or shorten it, simply extend or shorten the side lines to change the length of the pattern.

For my height of 5'3", I removed 2 cm from the length of the blouse.
