Description
The DIVINE dress is a first of a kind, it has been designed collaborating with Virginie @ nomdunecouture.
We’ve created a dress with different options that allow you to give the style you prefer. Long or short, with different types of pockets and collars you can create your own from sophistication to minimalism. And the waistband with elastic makes it very comfortable to wear in any occasions.
The set of patterns is available from size 34 to 46 (FR) / 6 to 18 (UK) corresponding to 32 to 41 ¼ inches for the bust size.
The Divine dress has been designed for rather light and fluid fabrics. Fabric fluidity is necessary to give this garment a nice fall. Too stiff or too thick fabrics will give too much volume, especially with the gatherings. Keep also in mind that you’ll have to put it on by the head so that fluid fabric is a must. Our advice is to use fabrics such as viscose, Tencel , cupro, silk …
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! The DIVINE dress is compatible with the “Sleeves bar” so don’t hesitate to mix and create a new style with the ¾ gathering sleeve for example.
All the available sleeves are included in the “Sleeves bar” pattern on our Makerist store.
