ABOUT THE DRESS:

The Fleur dress & blouse is a pretty and versatile pattern. The playful bow ties and gathered peplum add an element of fun to this garment. Plus, a secret placket stops you showing more than you might want to between the bows! Made in a lightweight cotton or linen this is the perfect summer dress or blouse. You can also use a heavier weight fabric and wear the sleeveless version as a pinafore dress in cooler weather.

SEWING LEVEL: Advance beginner

The Fleur dress & blouse features a bias finished neckline and optional sleeves. The tie front top means no fiddly zips or buttonholes. 

RECOMMENDED FABRICS

Fabrics with a bit of body such as cotton poplin, linen and lightweight denim will give this garment the structure needed to show off the bows and peplum. For a fancy version, use a sparkly brocade or use a denim or cord to make a winter version.

HOW THE DRESS FITS

The Fleur is a loose fitting dress and blouse. The waist seam sits just above your natural waist and the skirt falls loosely, stopping at low calf length. The placket is designed to stop you showing more than you might want to at the centre front. We have included 2 cup sizes – a B cup and D cup, please see the 'what size should you make?' section on page 4 to see which is the right cup size for you. We have also included 2 bodice shapes – one for the version with sleeves and one for the version without. The version with sleeves only has darts in the D cup. The sleeveless version has a side bust dart in both the B and D cup to give it a better fit.

    Wow!!!!

    I made the sleeveless version in a white cotton eyelet with french seams (thank you for the 5/8" seam allowance). No modifications needed at all. Instructions were excellent and it came out beautifully. A winner for sure.
