Pattern printed of the Alabama dress by Coralie Bijasson from size 34 to 48 (fr/eng)

Succumb to this very feminine dress, a bit 70's with its trapeze shape and its underbust seam that delicately highlights your waist.⁠
Alabama is a trapeze dress with or without sleeves. The neckline is split at the front. The underbust seam at the front plunges down to the waist at the back.⁠

Feminine and timeless, this garment can be adapted as you wish!
