We can't resist the charm of a summer Mia dress!

Mia revisits as an easy dress pattern for summer

A summer Mia blouse is great… But a summer Mia dress, to twirl around in a golden fabric, that’s the best!

This beauty will be my last sewing project of the summer, as the energy of the Maison Fauve workshop is focused on the final preparations for the new collection. However, I couldn't resist adapting our summer hack into a dress, so fluid and comfortable (and to be honest, I'll be on vacation when you read these words and I absolutely wanted to slip a new hand-sewn item into my luggage).

In this version, Mia is an easy-to-sew dress pattern: no sleeves, no collar, it rolls all by itself! (The Mia pocket pattern can be found here and the pieces offered to make it into a free beginner's dress pattern can be downloaded here ) .

We accompany you in this variation with a video sewing tutorial to be found on our YouTube channel .

The perfect fabric for my sewing project

I chose to sew my summer dress in the Atelier Brunette "Shade Ochre" fabric . It is a very bright viscose and the abstract foliage pattern, like light shadows projected through palms, gives it relief. My skin has been sunbathed and the color brings out my tan nicely. The fabric drapes perfectly for Mia, very supple and above all really pleasant to wear.

FABRIC “SHADE OCHRE” Atelier Brunette

Obviously, Mia's secret weapon is her stunning back! After the polka dot blouse and the smallest neckline, I'm going all out for my dress! The low cut doesn't allow me to wear a bra, at least not a classic model. I present it to you here with pretty heeled sandals but I am sure that with bare feet, put on over a swimsuit, it will be just as incredible.

Mia by day, Mia by night

I like the fact that you can re-accessorize your outfit to enjoy your clothes in all circumstances. And since I got a taste for inspiration boards with the issues of L'Œil Fauve , I had fun preparing 2 silhouettes around Mia: a day version, for walks by the sea with your feet in the sand and a more "dressy" version with pretty accessories. One dress, 2 atmospheres... I'm going to love wearing Mia on vacation! And to see my dress in motion, go to our Instagram @maisonfauve , a pretty reality awaits you ;)

See you soon for a new sewing project that will start your back-to-school sewing inspirations.
