Maxi skirt featuring three ruffles and waistband over a pencil skirt closed at the back by an invisible zipper.

A shortened version with 2 ruffles is also possible, requiring less fabric.

The PRIMROSE dress will make you the prettiest girl at the dance... The skater skirt is made up of panels, making it a real showstopper with an open back, or more elegant with a full back. The neckline of the dress is delicately scooped. The front of the bust is gathered, and the back is cinched with an elasticated waistband. The remarkable detail of this pretty sewing pattern: the pleated, twisted cuff, almost like a trademark of your hand-sewn creation (this detail is the same whether you choose the buttoned cuff finish, or the simplified cuff without button version).

Combining clean lines and sophistication, the Tempête blouse has a very feminine drape. The pattern plays on pleats, proportions and a trompe l’oeil collar effect.
