The elegance of a shoulder supported by a pleat (but without being too exaggerated), a structured square neckline that can be highlighted with a neckline band and a long buttoned cuff, a retro touch, the delicate Lauren . . . is the deceptively wise piece for a look that has character!
Available in a slightly flared blouse, or a trapeze dress above the knee, its refined profile is the perfect playground for strong prints, colour blocking, or a luxurious fabric. Versatile but downright chic!
Suggested Fabrics: Fabrics of lightweight (80 to 150g / m2). Viscose, cotton, tencel, linen, silk and for the blouse version a pretty openwork fabric as well. Rather supple fabrics, which will flatter the work of the shoulder pleat and the fall of the gathered sleeve.
Fabric Requirements: For a width of 140 cm.
BLOUSE
6-10 (34-38): 190cm | 12-16 (40-44): 210cm | 18-24 (46-52): 230cm

You will also need:

Please see the FIND YOUR SIZE tab for more information.

Intermediate if you sew the version without a neckline band and with a simplified cuff (wristband cuff). Advanced for the version with the neckline band (inlay assembly) and cuffs with slits and a buttoned cuff.
Size Chart (cm):
The "standard" measurement guide allows you to identify your Maison Fauve size.
Some of the newer patterns include finished garment measurements. We advise you to check both in order to choose which is best if you are between two sizes or to adapt the final fit.
