The Calista dress pattern has an irresistible bohemian charm!

A creation that blends elegance and casual style with a touch of sophistication. Designed to make you feel both free and fabulous, this dress perfectly embodies the bohemian spirit.

Calista features a cutout under the bust that delicately accentuates your curves, while an elasticated back ensures a perfect fit at the waist, offering optimal comfort all day long. The puff sleeves add a touch of romance and a subtle, chic touch.

Furthermore, you have a choice of two sleeve lengths: the flared 3/4 sleeve for a touch of bohemian grace, or the long sleeve with a buttoned cuff for timeless elegance. In the video tutorial, you'll also find a version with an elasticated and smocked cuff for a more romantic style.

For this ultra-feminine design, it was a natural fit to partner with Anne, the creator of the My Dress Made collection with its exclusive and vibrant prints. Each motif tells a story, adding a unique dimension to your style.

This dress pattern comes in short or long versions, depending on your mood and the occasion. The long version features slits on each side, creating a graceful movement with every step and showcasing your lovely boots for a complete bohemian look.

On the other hand, the short version is perfect for a dynamic, urban look, allowing you to move around with ease and style.

Whether it's for a casual evening under the stars, a city break, or a workday, this dress is perfect for expressing your personal style. It's designed to make you feel beautiful, confident, and completely yourself.

Add this bohemian dress to your collection today for a look that combines comfort, elegance, and originality in a truly unique way.
