Les Lubies de Cadia: Eclair Dress & Top
Les Lubies de Cadia: Eclair Dress & Top
A simple top/dress with an original detail at the shoulders: slim tie straps attached through eyelets. As easy and quick to sew as eating an Eclair!
Sizes 34-56 (US sizes 2-24)
⅜" (1 cm) seam allowances included
Instructions are in English and French
Recommended fabrics: To make the eyelets last longer, sturdier fabrics such as cotton poplin, chambray, or linen are advised. You can also use a fluid fabric such as viscose, crepe, or even polyester provided that the fabric is not too thin. Be careful however with fabrics that do not iron like crepe or polyester: it will be more difficult to make the ties. Avoid very openwork fabrics as the eyelets will not hold up as well.
