A meri blouse also known in Papua New Guinea as meri kolos is a blouse commonly worn by women in Papua New Guinea. Today, there are many different styles of this blouse available and those who sew these meri blouses have their own way of sewing them. These blouses are produced mainly by women in SME sector and sold to PNG women in Papua New Guinea and even to those who live in Australia and New Zealand. These type of dresses were introduced by missionaries back in time. Other South Pacific Island countries such as Vanuatu and Solomon Islands may also have dress styles with similar history attached to the work of christain missionaries in Pacific. This is a step by step sewing tutorial on how I make this dress. This dress is an easy to wear dress and also easy to make dress without the use of a pattern. It can be easily adjusted to one's size preference and own styling options. These meri blouse can be worn in different ways depending on the length of the blouse. The longer ones can be worn as dresses while the shorter ones can be worn as tops/blouses and tunics. This is part one of a two-parts tutorial series.

Thankyou for sharing, if the length is 27inches what is the width?

[@craftysnowowl]

Not really sure what length you are referring to?? I am also not using inches as measurement units here. I use centimetres as measurement units. The dimensions for the neck fabric piece here is 32 cm by 34 cm. Hope this answer helps clarify. 🙏🏾
