A beautiful long dress, light, that falls to the calves, so sensible at the front with its flat pleats on the skirt and a sensible neckline and yet the back... a wonderful low neckline provided by a perfectly made wrap! But Leaf can also be a charming little top, a neckline just right with a buttoned back, and as always it’s delicate front marked with a small slit (or not!) and small sleeves turned back for a relaxed look without even meaning to.
Sewing level: Intermediate, the technical points are the seams of the pleats and darts, and the assembly of the facings on the busts.
