Clématisse - Selena Dress Paper Pattern

$39.95

French instructions

Selena, the exceptional dress for your most beautiful summer days!

This is the "Summer Dress", both bohemian chic and sophisticated, ideal for strolling on the beach, attending a summer wedding or enjoying an evening at sunset. 

Her large, ultra-flattering "V" shaped bare back will make all the difference!

A deep V-neck that reveals nothing! Embellished with a small fancy tie that can be decorated with a small pearl.

Its unique feature is its elasticated waist, achieved through a series of applied ties under which small elastic bands are inserted
. Two belt options: one is open on the sides for an even more refined style, the other will be more conservative with the sides closed.

The beads are optional, but this small detail makes all the difference! You need to use beads with a 5mm hole; I used "Itoshii" beads, available for sale on this page.

A soft and flowing fabric will be ideal to highlight its airy volume and elasticated waist, a plain or printed fabric according to your desires.

The pattern includes two lengths: long or short (above the knee)

Recommended fabrics

  • Suitable for all types of woven fabrics, with little or no stretch.
    It is ideal for all types of soft and flowing fabrics: lightweight crepe, satin, cotton voile, Tencel, chambray, double gauze…
