Maison Fauve - Paola Dress and Top Sewing Pattern

Here is PAOLA...a skin revealing dress where you can feel the caresses of the sun! It has a rounded front neckline and it reveals all its beauty from the back, with a neckline worked by a set of sliding ties.

Swishing thanks to its side cut-outs and its flattering fit at the bust, it comes in a camisole style top and a dress just above the knee.

Paola also has 2 pockets where you can slip your hands, whether you are strolling nonchalantly by the sea, or sipping a drink on the rooftop.

If the back does not allow you to wear a bra, she will be lovely slipped over a small tank top, a bra, or your prettiest swimsuit!

Sizes: 6 - 24

Height: 165cm

Level: Intermediate (The big technical point is the installation of the neck bias which extends to form the straps.)
