PDF - Digital Pattern for the Blue Monday Dress by Mimoï from size 34 to 46 (fr)

The Blue Monday dress features a wide waistband that marks the waist and highlights the bust

The blousing bodice and its boat neckline give it all its originality

The skirt comes in 2 lengths, mini or midi

The sleeves are long and flared at the bottom with a wide cuff (bishop sleeves)

// Seam allowances are included //

The bodice of the Blue Monday dress has a pretty volume that blouses over the wide waistband that structures the model

This volume is then distributed in small gathers in the waistband

The shoulder and back width are fitted without restricting movement

The boat neckline brings a delicate and feminine touch emphasized by a center back slit closed with a loop and a small button

To avoid breaking the blouse effect of the bodice, the zipper stops at the waistband

The bodice closes thanks to a slit and a system of placket and under placket that subtly closes it

The skirt is dressed with small gathers at the waist and offers 2 lengths, mini or midi, just below the knee

The sleeves are fitted at the shoulders then flare out to recall the volume of the bodice

They end with a shaped cuff adorned with 4 small buttons
