Description
There are clothes that we slip into without thinking about, because we know they make us beautiful and they are perfect for any occasion. That's what Maison Fauve had in mind when creating PENELOPE: a pretty wrap dress, comfortable and flattering for all silhouettes, a bit retro but devilishly feminine with its buttoned bodice, and always a Fauve detail: pleated work on the shoulder and beautiful sleeves.
This pattern can also be made into a blouse and a skirt. Directions for these adaptions are included.
Sewing level: intermediate/advanced, the technical points are the assembly of the belt and the shoulder pleats and mounting the facing.
The seam allowances are included and are 1 cm.
**There is a video tutorial available for this pattern**
The booklet is in French with English translation.
