Théodora is a little summer dress that I have in mind for a bit of time!

Its uniqueness comes from the neckline, where the bodice gathers around a necklace shaped strap. Its, cleavage, its flattery fit, and its slit skirt make this garment very feminine. You will enjoy wearing it all summer long.

Depending on chosen fabrics, this dress can be worn for vacations of for a more festive occasion.

I designed this garment to be easy to sew, for it to join all the seamstress’ wardrobes, from beginners to more experienced ones.

 

The design characteristics:

  • Gathered neckline
  • Princess yokes
  • Close fitted waist
  • Paneled skirt, maxi length, slit
  • Invisible zipper in the back
