The panel skirt construction provides a perfect drape without excess volume, and the elasticated back means you don't have to sew a side zip...

Allure Gypset: the Cuba Libre dress in bohemian lace

For this version of the dress, the amount of fabric is different because the shell lace has a particular meaning. The positioning will be done with the fabric at the fold, on a height of 1m40 and the quantities of fabric are: 2m80 in 34-36, 3m in 38-44 and 3m30 in 46-52. The dress is well lined on the skirt and the bust in front, following the information mentioned in the brochure (assembly range and quantity of fabric for the lining, everything is explained). The lining was cut in our cotton voile. Find the cutting plan in product photo or in the article here .

Sewing level : INTERMEDIATE , the technical points are sewing a V-neck, making gathers, sewing set-in sleeves and installing elastic.

SEAM ALLOWANCES INCLUDED (1 CM).

If you want to line your dress we recommend cotton voile . This is the case for the Berlingot striped fabric version.
