Ancolie,the graceful long dress

Description

Discover Ancolie, a true must-have for your summer wardrobe. This dress perfectly fits all body types thanks to its wrap-around design. It is elegant and lightweight, perfect for wearing in any situation. With a slightly transparent fabric for the beach over a swimsuit, a colorful or floral fabric for a bohemian look, or a dark fabric (khaki, navy, or black) with gold or silver belt bands, this dress is perfect for stylish evenings.

Difficulty

Ancolie is ideal for beginners in sewing. After completing one or two firsts projects, it is perfect for moving on to the next level. It might seem daunting due to the size of the pieces, but this dress is quite simple and relatively quick to make.

Fabrics and trimmings

For Ancolie, the choice of fabrics is quite wide as this design adapts to many textures and materials. My preferences are natural materials, and I recommend cotton, linen, silk, and even wool. But synthetic materials like polyester, modal, and viscose can also provide an extremely elegant result. For the example, I used a flexible fabric with weight. If you use a thicker or stiffer fabric, you will achieve more volume.

• For a fabric with a width of 150cm (no less because the skirt wouldn’t fit), you need from XXS to S : 2,20m, M : 2,30m, L and XL, 2,60m, above 2,70m.
