Pattern printed of the Medusa dress and blouse by Instinct Couture (size 32 to 52)

Medusa can be made as a dress or blouse according to your wishes. The key feature of this model lies in its very detailed front, with a fold that mimics a necktie, bringing movement and fluidity. The straight cut with a bit of fullness ensures comfort and elegance. You can choose between a version with faux sleeves to slightly cover the shoulders or opt for long, fitted sleeves for cooler seasons. The back neckline is available in a round or V shape, while remaining compatible with a bra.

By sewing Medusa, you will learn to:
Sew pleats
A facing
Make understitching
Apply a bias binding

For this dress, mainly consider your bust measurement. Choose the size closest to you. If your hip measurement is more than 2 sizes above your bust measurement, it is better to grade between the two sizes from bust to hips.

The Medusa Dress is designed to be sewn in a non-stretch, flowing fabric: viscose twill, tencel, crepe, etc. Depending on the season, you can choose a heavier or lighter drape.

Before sewing Medusa, it is preferable to have already sewn a few pieces as the assembly is somewhat original, but the various diagrams found in the booklet as well as the video tutorial available on the YouTube channel and accessible via the QR code during sewing will guide you through making your dress!
