Sewing pattern tutorial: How to sew the Péninsule Dress?
The Péninsule dress is the elegant piece from the Le Rivage collection. Its long silhouette is cinched by darts at the front and back, and it comes in a beautiful version with a lavallière collar to tie, as well as a collarless version that highlights the V-shaped neckline, subtly closed with small ties. Very comfortable to wear, it features discreet pockets hidden in the front skirt seam. The charming detail of this lovely dress: the intricate sleeve cuffs, long at the wrist and cut with a V-shaped design.
