Maison Fauve - Zenith Blouse and Dress

About the Zenith Blouse and Dress

Zenith  . . .  the beauty of the sun at its peak.  This stunning pattern has unique darts that echo the rays of the sun. The pattern offers 2 versions: a dress and a blouse.  Each version is available with 3 sleeve finishes.

Unlike most Maison Fauve Patterns (which cover sizes 34-52, or even 34-56), this pattern has the size range of 34-46.

The Fabric

Select viscose, cotton, tencel, linen, silk and for the blouse version a pretty openwork fabric as well. Choose soft fabrics, which will flatter the delicate work of the darts and the fall of the skirt. In all cases, choose a fabric that marks the folds well with the heat of the iron.
