How to sew a Flora jumpsuit

Introducing Flora, the flowing jumpsuit for sunny days, for a fashionable silhouette with endless legs, not to mention comfort thanks to its elasticated waistband. Pockets are hidden in the side seams, and you can tighten or loosen the collar knot as you wish.

Of course, for the material we recommend a fluid, supple one, and the more slippery it is, the easier it will be to slide the collar tie and waist elastics. As a matter of habit, we opted for a muslin (made of polyester for easy transport in suitcases, as it wrinkles less than other materials), which we found in two different colors at Coupons de Saint-Pierre. The colors are right in the spirit of our Memphis collection. Otherwise, we recommend satins, crepes georgette, voiles, or if you want a little more hold, why not look into poplin or plumetis. Flora can be made into a dress simply by replacing the bottom with two rectangles of fabric! You'll need 0.75cm elastic, in two pieces the length of your waist. If your fabric is very soft, you can also use a little iron-on for the bow. 

To sew Flora, you'll need :
-3m50 of fabric in 1m40 width,
-2x your waist in 0.75cm wide elastic,
-fusible webbing if needed for the bow.
