Cuba Libre Dress - Sewing Pattern | Maison Fauve
THIS IS A PAPER PATTERN
Printed pattern sheets + instructions, all nicely packaged in a matching envelope.
Looking for a beautiful long dress to twirl around in all summer? Look no further than the Cuba Libre!
The panel skirt construction provides a perfect drape without excess volume, and the elasticated back means you don't have to sew a side zip... Easy to sew and divine to wear, the Cuba Libre dress comes in an open back version for wild evenings or a closed-back to be the most elegant barefoot by the water. With its pretty butterfly sleeves, V-neckline and beautiful long skirt, it's irresistible, right?!
AVAILABLE SIZES: 34 - 52
DIFFICULTY: INTERMEDIATE. The technical points are sewing a V-neckline, making gathers, sewing set-in sleeves and installing elastic.
