Kika Jumpsuit & Dress Sewing Pattern

A stunning jumpsuit / bustier dress, Maison Fauve presents the Kika, a masterpiece in its own right; a well constructed piece full of details.

The elaborate bustier is worked like a corset but is comfortably worn with an elasticated back. The shorts comprise of a couture inlay detail which can be adjusted into a bustier dress instead. 

The bustier can be worn with straps to hide a bra or without for a feminine 'real' bustier look.
