About the Charline Dress | Blouse

The asymmetrical neckline of the Charline gently highlights the shoulders.  The shoulder is slightly shifted forward and adorned with gathers, brings a refined, feminine finish. It has clean lines and fluid volume, offering great freedom of movement while maintaining an elegant, modern look.  The pattern suits any occasion: made in chiffon or satin, it will become the ideal outfit for a summer wedding or ceremony. Made in lightweight viscose, it will accompany you in style on seaside walks or during summer evenings at a restaurant.  Wear it loose and airy or belted to define the silhouette.  And because style and practicality go hand in hand, the dress version features pockets discreetly integrated into the side seams.

The Charline blouse, meanwhile, stands out as an easy-to-wear everyday piece while bringing that touch of originality that makes the difference. Try it in a solid fabric for timeless elegance or in a bright print to liven up your outfits.
