PROSE dress - Maison Fauve

The PROSE dress is a little couture gem: the bust creates a trompe l'oeil effect of a buttoned and beautifully V-neck blouse, and is also available in a sleeveless version for sunny days. 

The pleated skirt has an elaborate construction with darts and pleats, large Italian pockets for comfort, and allows you to play with lengths and fabrics thanks to its yoke. 

The pattern offers you the choice between the dress version and the skirt version. And to make the model accessible to all sewing levels, the dress slips on very easily thanks to its elasticated back waistband, which does not interfere with the front, making the dress as flattering as it is comfortable.
