CLASSIC WITH A TWIST… AGAIN!
Stunning in its summer version, the TWIST dress deserves a place in your handmade wardrobe all year round. We’re offering you the new long-sleeve extension as a free PDF download, for even more sewing possibilities!
The design keeps everything that makes TWIST so unique: a sleek, incredibly flattering silhouette, with THE detail that is anything but a detail – a cleverly constructed drape that skims over the tummy and defines the waist without feeling restrictive, thanks to an ingenious arrangement of pleats and exceptional pattern cutting.
The pattern now offers six different variations: sleeveless, short-sleeved or long-sleeved, each available in two lengths – above or below the knee. The elegant boat neckline beautifully frames the collarbones while still allowing you to wear a bra, whichever sleeve option you choose.
TWIST looks stunning in a plain fabric, but its distinctive construction also works beautifully with prints, giving them a whole new… TWIST!
