A soft and feminine scoop neck, 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 in Tencel which will give a couture look to your favourite jeans, a pretty A line dress 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 emphasize the waist.

Sewing Level: Beginner / intermediate, the technical points are the darts and the sleeve.

Size: from 6 to 28 (34 to 56), for a height of 1m65.

SEWING MARGINS ARE INCLUDED (1 CM).
