Maison Fauve | PENELOPE Dress Sewing Pattern
We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.
However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.
We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.
Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.
There are some clothes that you slip into without thinking because you know they make you look beautiful and can follow you to any occasion. This is what I had in mind when I created PENELOPE: a pretty dress wrap comfortable and flattering for all figures, a little retro but feminine in the devil with its buttoned bodice and always the Fauve detail: a pleated work on the shoulder and beautiful sleeves.
And as nothing is more pleasant than to adapt your pattern, the beautiful PENELOPE will allow you to sew a skirt wrap very well cut and fast to sew but also a very beautiful blouse (you will have to adapt the pattern a little in this case but don't panic it's very simple and we explain everything to you!)
Sewing level : Advanced. The technical points are the shoulder pleats, the belt assembly and the facing assembly.
