Garment Details: DORTE is a blouse or tunic with a draped silhouette defined by its long, attached shawl – an invitation to wrap, knot, or let it cascade freely. Elegant raglan sleeves flow gracefully with delicate slits at the cuffs for easy movement and subtle detail. Side slits at the hem of the bodice allow for a relaxed, airy fit.
As the shawl folds and shifts, glimpses of the reverse side of the fabric become part of the design, making the choice of fabric essential. Both sides should be equally beautiful, as they will be revealed in the artful drape of the piece.
A versatile garment that invites play, layering, and personal styling, this top moves with you, changing shape with a simple sweep of the shawl.
Sizing: This pattern is available in sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9). Inclusive sizing from 31"/78cm bust to 57.5"/146cm bust. Choose your size based on your bust measurement. Add a recommended positive ease of approximately 3.1"/8 cm. Pick the size that is the best match for your bust and grade for the hips if necessary.

In the photos, Esete is wearing the blouse version with 2"/5 cm positive ease around the bust. The sleeve length has been shortened by 2.8"/7 cm and the blouse length has been shortened by 0.8"/2 cm.
Olga is wearing the tunic version with 3.4"/10 cm positive ease around the bust.
Suitable fabrics: Choose a light to medium-light woven fabric such as poplin, crêpe, satin, or any other lightweight cotton, linen, silk, viscose, or Tencel. The fabric should look good on both sides, since the inside will be visible when the shawl is hanging. As the shawl pulls the neckline to the back, the design can’t be made with heavy fabrics.
The ecru dress sample is made in Saba Sheer (56% Tencel Lyocell, 44% viscose, 3.54 oz/120 gsm). The purple blouse sample is made in a viscose twill lining (100% viscose, 3.1 oz/105 gsm).
