The front, back and sleeves are cut in one piece. An under placket extends the front opening on the right side, and self-bias finishes the faced neckline and is used for handmade frogs and knotted buttons. Three patch pockets and fold back cuffs complete the detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thai blouse has been adapted from the original with an eye on fit. The back and side front are cut in one shaped piece, with additional panels in the centre front. A straight neckband crosses to tie at the waist inside and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA close fit is the main characteristic of the choli, as it is both undergarment and blouse for the sari. Shaped centre front pieces (darted to fit the figure) and separate side pieces join into a midriff band. Above elbow sleeves hug the arms. The back is fitted smoothly with darts. An added front underlap fastens with hooks and eyes. Self-bias finishes the neckline, softly V-shaped in front and scooped in back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern gives instructions for making three types of knotted frog closures and wearing the traditional sarong skirts and sari. Lengthen the tops for different looks or to showcase luscious fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
