Maia — Dress with Short Sleeves, Dress with Long Sleeves, Blouse
Paper Pattern : $45.00
The Maia pattern features a simple, figure-flattering sheath dress & top that you will reach for often. The bias-cut, A-line dress has bust darts and several seamed panels for shaping and fullness in just the right places. No fussy closures are needed — the dress simply pulls over the head with an ample V-neckline. The length grazes the knee, or just below, with a generous flouncing fullness at the hem. For the dress length, choose the short-sleeve option or the long-sleeve with the waist tie. The blouse-length version has a rounded neckline and short sleeve.

I fell in love with this pattern as soon as I saw it. I just had to try it . I knew it was going to be a challenge as I'd only done one other bias cut dress before but didn't realize that I had cut it wrong. What a mess! The directions for this pattern were very clear and easy to follow. It came together so easily too. The sizing is also good. It turned out great! Very comfortable and drapes nicely. I used Blue Bonnet signature finish mid-weight. Lots of compliments
