I'm so excited about Pauline Alice patterns from the talented and stylish Pauline who started her pattern business in Spain in 2013. She has created casual and stylish patterns. I appreciate most the silhouette of her patterns, she has created great shape in all of them.
I am completely in love with this dress. I love the 60's swing in the shape and the integrated pockets. I think this will be a staple in my future sewing, with and without the sleeves.
Note - Pauline has created fantastic tutorials on her blog for many of her patterns including a tutorial on sewing bias binding on the Xerea neckline here and a great piping tutorial (if you look closely, a couple of her pictures of this dress feature fun contrast piping).
Spark - I encourage you to search Pinterest for lots of fantastic ideas for fabrics to make this dress in, but I would like a sleeveless dress in this. I think the weight would be great to show off the shape of the back.
