Papillon & Mandarine Patterns : Mademoiselle Josephine Dress

Between a gathered bodice under bust and a slim waist, this empire-waist dress with a slight V-neck charmingly underlines your features.

This dress can either be formal or casual, depending on your choice of fabrics. Using crepe or viscose will give you a more dressy look for formal events of any kind. It can also be a lovely summer dress if some lightweight cotton or linen is used.

Potential technical difficulties are thoroughly addressed e.g. the back zipper installation is fully referenced in the instructions, just go with the flow! Adding piping to the waist belt is also optional, so don’t be afraid of it!
