Blouse & Dress - Women - BROOK
BROOK is a full blouse or dress with a 60’s baby doll look ! Gathered at the chest, it is lined and the dress has pockets. Several types of sleeves and necklines are proposed to allow you to sew it in many versions (24 exactly ! 😋). You can also wear the dress with a belt to mark your waist ... 💡 Sewing idea : create contrast using a different fabric for the neckline and the sleeves ..
Size : 34 to 46 available in 3 statures (1m55 & less, +/- 1m65 and 1m75 & more).
Beginner to Intermediate difficulty level : the frill or long sleeves and cuffs 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 cotton (double gauze, voile, batiste or poplin) for a voluminous and airy version or a viscose for a less voluminous but more fluid version. Favour the lightest fabrics with a less than 120g/m² weight (i.e. 170g/linear meter with a 140 cm width).

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).
