Sonia Dress

From Maison Fauve, reveal yourself without showing too much is the promise of the beautiful dress Sonia.

Tribute to the beautiful paintings of the artist Sonia Delaunay, the model will allow you to make combinations of fabrics that will lend itself to all your desires: a very elegant evening dress with its details highlighted by lace or satin, or an ultra contemporary dress made by effects of colour-blocking like a painting of the avant-garde, and why not play on mix and match prints!

With its yoke work on the sleeves, and the inlays on the front of the skirt, the pattern will allow you to let your curiosity speak, to play with your inspirations.

The sleeves are nicely gathered around the wrist, the waist line is pulled up for more modernity, and the cut of the skirt is very elegant and brings a perfect movement without adding fullness.

SEWING LEVEL:
Intermediate. The technical aspects are the installation of the invisible zip, sewing of the mounted sleeves and a sleeve cuff, and making the inlays on the front skirt. But don't panic, find the video tutorial of the dress Sonia on Maison Fauve website or Youtube channel! Link below!

CHOICE OF FABRIC:
The Sonia dress lends itself to many combinations due to its construction. Viscose, crêpe, cotton poplin will be perfectly adapted as the main fabric, and if you want to contrast the materials a beautiful lace, guipure, plumetis, veil... Combine plain and printed fabrics, or even mix the patterns!
