✨ Sewing tutorial: the NOTTE dress

NOTTE is a party dress of luminous elegance, designed to subtly enhance the silhouette. Its sweetheart neckline highlights the head carriage, while the defined waist and pleated bust create a feminine and graceful look, without constraint.

Two back options (full or buttoned) and two skirt lengths allow for an easy transition from an evening look to a more everyday version.

NOTTE’s apparent delicacy hides a meticulous construction and couture details that make it an exceptional piece: the bust pleats, the fully lined finish for impeccable shoulder finishes, the button placket at the back, the flowing skirt with pockets, and the precise management of the back elastic.

NOTTE is a dancing and contemporary dress, perfect for shining with lightness.
