A soft and feminine scoop neck and rounded sleeves that break the mould because at Maison Fauve we aren’t conventional girls… here is NIKI the beautiful dress from the SEW ME ARTY collection.
In homage to the undulating chicks of the artist Niki de Saint Phalle, this pattern will allow you to make multiple pieces: a top as fabulous in jacquard as it is in Tencel which will give a couture look to your favourite jeans; a pretty A line dress that is easy to sew and to wear; and a second skater dress with a beautiful skirt that twirls gorgeously in a fluid and light fabric that you will have the option of belting (or not) to emphasise the waist.
