Pauline Alice - Ibi Dress
About the Ibi Dress
Pauline's latest design, the Ibi dress, is Romantic maxi dress with gathered tiers and loose shape. It has lovely raglan sleeves and essential inseam pockets. It has an asymmetric hem, that's slightly shorter at the front. There are 6 versions, but if you consider the number of combinations of bodices, sleeves and skirts, the possibilities are boundless. This is an amazing pattern. I hope you enjoy it.
