Paper Pattern
Ola KIKA! There is sunshine and the desire to be a little bit irresistible in this pattern, don't you think? A magnificent playsuit or strapless dress, Kika is the master piece of the collection, very tailored and full of details: a bustier worked like a piece of corsetry but very comfortable with its elasticated back, shorts with a couture angled pleat detail, and you can also create Kika in a strapless dress. With straps to hide wearing a bra or as a very feminine "real" strapless piece, Kika will be the most elaborate piece in your wardrobe.
Sewing level: Advanced, the technical aspects of the pattern are the angled pleat on the front of the shorts, the assembly of the bustier which is fully lined and with several cutouts, the assembly of the invisible side zip.
SEWING MARGINS ARE INCLUDED (1 CM).
