Maison Fauve - The TWIST Dress Paper Sewing Pattern

Classic with a TWIST…this new dress from Maison Fauve perfectly captures the spirit of the Natural High collection. The silhouette is clean and ultra-flattering, with one standout detail: a cleverly constructed drape that softly skims the tummy and defines the waist without feeling restrictive, thanks to an expert play of pleats and precise pattern cutting.

The pattern offers four variations: sleeveless or with short sleeves, and two lengths to choose from, above or below the knee. The boat neck beautifully highlights the collarbones while still allowing you to wear a bra, whatever sleeve option you choose. Stunning in a plain fabric, the dress’s unique construction also enhances prints… giving them a stylish twist.

Fabric choice: choose a lightweight to medium-weight fabric (100–200 g/m²) with softness and beautiful drape, such as poplin, crepe, lightweight jacquard, twill, dupion, in viscose, cotton, linen, Tencel or silk.

The cut and pleats are best showcased in fabrics that are supple and fluid.

Sewing level: INTERMEDIATE, The key techniques include forming the pleats, sewing the inset panel, attaching the neckline facing, and inserting an invisible side zip
