Maison Fauve - Eclipse Dress and Shorts Suit

About the Eclipse Dress/CombiSuit

There are two different looks.  One is a pretty summer dress with pleated skirt; the perfect length for a walk on a sunny afternoon. The second one is a very chic combishort, with a little fullness and pockets.  The patterns feature a gorgeous pleat details at the shoulders, and a unique asymmetrical closure.  

The different options means that this pattern is weighty (432g!).    It's great value.   

The Fabric

Select cotton poplin, tencel, light denim, viscose and crepe, cotton sateen; fabrics with a nice fall and a little bit of hold for the combishort version, and you can be more flexible and light for the dress version. In all cases, you should choose a fabric that marks the folds well with the heat of the iron.
