Have you asked for a 70’s vestal look ? Let me introduce you to LAUREN ! The sewing pattern with multiple combinations : a dress or a blouse, sleeveless, with pretty frill or long sleeves, a defined waist with a link ... or not, to wear in summer 🌞 or winter ❄️. It’s up to you !
Size : 34 to 46 available in 3 statures (1m55 & less, +/- 1m65 and 1m75 & more) and 2 breast cups (A/B or C/D).
Beginner to Intermediate difficulty level : the frill or long sleeves will be new for beginners but no issues if you follow the illustrated step-by-step instructions 😉!
Recommended fabrics : a light-weighted fabric such as a viscose for a fluid version or a cotton batiste or poplin for a slightly more voluminous and airy version. If you have already sewn some (I specify as it is expensive, a little “slippery” to sew BUT with a magnificent style), you can also use a fluid silk type crepe, twill or mousseline/chiffon.

Passionate about fashion, I create feminine, modern and comfortable sewing patterns that allow me to set my ideal daily wardrobe. My inspiration is multiple and often meet the 60s and 70s trends, exhibitions that I visited, details I liked from fashion shows, the design of an object (Love letters pouch), ... or a perfect basic according to my criteria (Thelma jeans). Most of my patterns include several versions allowing anyone to customize its garment and offer 3 statures/2 breast cups to better suit your body. The instructions, illustrated in color, will guide you step by step to help you progress and sew your garment with pleasure.
