The perfect pattern for the perfect appearance - whether for a wedding celebration, as a quality suit or for the summer party! The dress MERIAH is a simple, sleeveless dress - optionally with round neck or V-neck and is closed at the back with a zipper. The top is doubled and provided with darts, the wide, gathered skirt piece is available in knee-length or midi-length, i.e. between knee and calf. Optionally, the dress can be lined. A superb, classic pattern in which the fabric is the main factor that determines the look. Whether linen, satin, tulle, lace or sequins - you can create very different looks. If you like, you can add a ribbon, a bow or a flower to the waist of MERIAH.
Captivating and festive - two terms that perfectly describe the MERIAH dress and, as it happens, are the actual translation of the Indonesian word "meriah".
The MERIAH dress is definitely manageable. Depending on what fabric you've chosen, some sewing experience may be helpful (linen or poplin are much appreciative!). However, with this step-by-step tutorial, even the details like the doubled top, the zipper and the gathered skirt will be a piece of cake.
Fabric recommendations
MERIAH is designed for soft flowing woven fabrics. Very festive are, for example, satin, tulle, lace or sequins. But viscose, chiffon, batiste and light cotton fabrics as well as linen and light denim also look great. The important thing is a beautiful drape.
