Maison Fauve Maïa Blouse & Dress (Intermediate)

Maïa, the dancing muse... inspired by the ballerina Maïa Plissetskaïa, a major artist of the Ballets Russes company. The delicate flat pleats of the skirt, the yokes of the bust, the cut at the waist, and especially the wow effect of its puffed sleeves, the pattern offers you the possibility to make a dress with a spectacular look. A straight sleeved version is also included. The button front is optional, and both the dress and blouse can be made without (see images).

The seam allowances are included in your pattern.

The booklet is in French with English translation.
