BRYZA blouse

I never thought I would dream of a fitted blouse, especially one made from a single strand of mohair! But here we are. The BRYZA blouse is **a classic capsule wardrobe project** that is simply made to be the basis of your every outfit. For work, everyday wear, at home. Under a jacket or a sweater. This blouse will work for everything. The construction of this fitted blouse is essentially simple and is based on **the *Contiguous method* by Susie Myers.** You’ll find quite a few possible modifications in the pattern, i.e. ***Full Bust Adjustment***, which enables you to adjust the circumference of the finished garment at the armpit level to your full bust circumference (to the certain range), as well as instructions for **horizontal bust darts** or ***A-line shaping**, if you need a bit more fabric at the hip area. **You can download a PDF preview with the most important information such as size guide, detailed measurements, yarn requirement, needles and notions in ENG and PL [here][1].** **Sizes:** The BRYZA blouse was designed with **zero ease** for all sizes. This means that the circumference of the finished garment at its widest point should be equal to the circumference measured at the fullest part of the bust. **Choose a size that most closely matches your upper bust circumference (measurement taken around your body just underneath your armpits).** Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) 5 (6, 7, 8) 9 (10, 11) will fit upper bust circumference of 81,5 (85,75, 89,75, 93,75) 97,75 (102, 106, 110) 114 (118,25, 122,25) cm / 32 (33.75, 35.25, 37) 38.5 (40, 41.75, 43.25) 45 (46.5, 48) in / Before you definitely choose a particular size, **check the finished garment’s circumference and a maximum possible *Full Bust Adjustment* for it.** The finished garment circumference for sizes 1 (2, 3, 4) 5 (6, 7, 8) 9 (10, 11) is respectively 80 (85, 90, 95) 100 (105, 110, 115) 120 (125, 130) cm /31.5 (33.5, 35.5, 37.5) 39.25 (41.25, 43.25, 45.25) 47.25 (49.25, 51.25) in/ with a **maximum possible modification** to the circumference of 89 (94, 97, 101) 106 (110, 114, 118) 123 (127, 131) cm / 35 (37, 38, 39.75) 41.75 (43.25, 44.75, 46.5) 48.5 (50, 51.75) in/ **Please note that sizes (10, 11) weren’t tested due to the lack of test knitters.
