Sister Mintaka presents the Nexus Blouse by Papercut Patterns.
This versatile long sleeve blouse can be worn with its V-neck button up feature to the front or the back. Choose between a shirt tail hemline or a cropped straight hem, and select your favourite sleeve option – a wide airy shape, or a cuffed and gathered sleeve with a button fasting. Whichever your preferred style, the Nexus will be your go-to blouse for any occasion.
