PDF - Digital Pattern for the Mima Dress by Clic Pattern from size 30 to 58 (fr)

The SOLEA Dress is a feminine and versatile sewing pattern designed for sewists seeking an elegant and easy-to-wear summer silhouette. With its refined halter neck, flattering V-neckline, and feminine open back, SOLEA combines lightness, comfort, and sophistication.

Offered in two versions, SOLEA lets you make either a short dress above the knee (Style A) or a midi dress with a gathered ruffle at the skirt hem (Style B). Its defined waist flatters the silhouette while its trapeze cut offers ease and movement.

The invisible zipper at center back ensures a neat and discreet finish, while the neck tie provides comfortable support.

Made in satin, poplin, crepe, or viscose, the SOLEA Dress is perfect for sunny days, vacations, summer ceremonies, or summer evenings.
