The Carmin pattern

(For the PDF version: once you've purchased, you'll get the download link sent straight to your email.)

The instructions are in English and French.

Let yourself be charmed by Carmin, a dress with a bold silhouette, designed for those who love to combine structure and character. Much more than just a button-down dress, Carmin is a sculptural piece that enhances your stride with natural confidence.

The details that make all the difference:

An architectural silhouette: its semi-fitted cut accentuates the body's contours before flaring out into a full skirt that creates a dramatic movement with every step you take.
A sophisticated neckline: its V-neck and princess seams, combined with elegant center-front buttoning, lend the design a refined, elongating effect.
Structured shoulders: cap sleeves define the shoulders for a modern, couture look.

Carmin is the pattern for working with structured fabrics. It’s a dress with character that’s just as suitable for a formal occasion as it is for a summer day when you simply want to shine.
