Reading 1Dart blouse
Reading 2Princess cut
Reading 3Katori

A saree blouse is tailored to the body, and many women and home tailors draft their own from a few measurements. These are drafting diagrams: front, back and sleeve marked out, darts drawn in, each line labelled with the measurement it takes. The three cuts are a dart blouse, a princess cut with curved panel seams, and a katori blouse with separate bust cups. Type a different cut and it is a request, not a guaranteed picture.

  • a first fitted garment for a home sewist

Frequently asked questions

Do I take my own measurements?
Yes. Each line is labelled with the measurement it takes, so take those on your own body and draft to them.
What is a katori blouse?
The bust cups are drawn as separate rounded pieces under the yoke, with a belt piece below them.
How does a princess cut differ from a dart blouse?
The princess cut splits the front into a centre panel and two side panels along curved seams. The dart blouse uses darts.
Can I ask for a backless blouse or a puff sleeve?
Yes, by typing it as a direction. That is a request; the nine pictures show the three cuts above.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
