Dress, Lupin

75,00 kr

Description:

This pattern can be made in 2 different variations, either as a dress or a skirt.

The dress has a tight fitting bodice with princess seams where piping is sewn in along the edges. The back is made by two back-pieces that cross over each other and are sewn together with the side seam from the front bodice. The skirt has two pleats on the front piece and pockets while the back skirt sits snugly at the waist on the back, as the back skirt is finished with an elastic band. Although the bodice is fitted it does not sit too tightly as the crossing back pieces create natural ease. Similarly, the skirt is also comfortable to wear due to the elastic in the back. 

Don't be intimidated by the very narrow finished waist measurement! It is deceptively small because of the elastic at the back!
