P & M Patterns - Muse Dress and Blouse/Top
About the Muse Dress and Blouse
Either a lovely summery little dress or a refined and charming top, MUSE is the garment that will see you through the summer.
The many variations will give you the opportunity to sew garments that vary from one to the other, but being based on one single pattern:
- Variation around the front yoke: a modest straight front or a nice V that gives a lovely shape to the bust,
- Variation around the back yoke: a back that hides the bra or a more glamorous back,
- Variation around length: a top that doesn’t ask for that much fabric or a dress with or without flounce,
- Variation around the finishing of the skirt: whether you belong to the “Gather” Team or the “Pleat Team”, you will find your happiness in the finishing
And here are the strap variations:
- Plain straps
- Straps with ties
- Straps with a romantic bow that you can choose to sew on both straps or only on one
- Gathered ruffle straps
The paper pattern includes:
- the booklet in English, stating the difficulty level, the cutting layout, the step-by-step sewing instructions, along with size chart and fabric and notion requirements,
- one easy-to-read multi-size pattern sheet, with no overlapping pieces.
The Patterns are presented in a large, 'string and washer' style envelope with a clear front window, and there is room to pop in your traced pattern also.
