Buy the Paola Dress and Top sewing pattern from Maison Fauve. A dress that reveals the skin, a dress to feel the caress of the sun, here is Paola! The front neckline is rounded, and the back neckline has a set of sliding ties. The dress sits just above the knee and has two pockets where you can slip your hands, whether you're strolling nonchalantly by the sea or sipping a drink in a rooftop garden. Gorgeous on its own, Paola can also be worn over a tank top or your prettiest swimming costume.
