PDF - Digital Pattern for the Dress / Skirt / Top Rita by Atelier Bernie
The Rita dress pays tribute to Rita Renoir, a pioneer of striptease in France and icon of the Crazy Horse Saloon, who notably inspired the name of the group Rita Mitsouko.
The Rita dress is a stylish summer model and romantic. It highlights your bust by shaping a pretty heart neckline and follows your silhouette with its strap seams.
With a retro inspiration, you have the option to sew it with a ruffle that flatters the décolletage. The waist is enhanced by a seam and the dress closes with a button placket.
Two lengths of dress are offered: short (above the knee) or midi. The neckline and button placket are finished with a facing. Its wide straps allow you to wear a bra without it showing.
You can also sew a crop-top and skirt set thanks to the waistband piece included in the pattern.
