Maison Fauve - Twist Dress

About the Twist Dress

It's a classic with a TWIST.  Maison Fauve's latest dress release has a flattering, clean silhouette.  Its standout Maison Fauve detail is a cleverly constructed drape (formed from pleats and precise cutting) that softly skims the tummy and defines the waist without feeling restrictive.

The pattern offers four variations:

• sleeveless or short sleeves
• two hem lengths (above or below the knee)
• the boat neck beautifully highlights the collarbones while still allowing you to wear a bra, whatever sleeve option you choose

This is stunning in a plain fabric, but the dress’s unique construction also enhances prints… giving them a stylish twist.

The Fabric

Select lightweight to medium-weight fabric (100–200 g/m²) with softness and beautiful drape, such as poplin, crepe, lightweight jacquard, twill, dupion, in viscose, cotton, linen, Tencel or silk. The cut and pleats are best showcased in fabrics that are supple and fluid.
