Armance dress, top and skirt

16,00 € – 24,00 €

Armance is the wrapped design I had in mind for months! It closes thanks to a bow in the back. Once put on, its vintage inspired cut will give you an elegant look without effort. I designed the Armance garment to be easy to wear and versatile, for it to always accompany you. As a dress, a skirt or a top, with long or short sleeves: the Armance pattern versions are numerous. Happily interpret it as seasons goes by!

The design characteristics:

V wrapped neckline
Pleats on the shoulders and at the waist
Fitted waist
Waistband to be tied with a bow in the back
Long puff sleeves with buttoned cuffs and frills
Or short sleeves
Tail for the top
Flared skirt for the dress or the skirt
Fully lined (except the sleeves and the frills)
