How to sew a Monica suit?

Here's Monica, the combination (no pun intended) of everything you could want for summer: bare shoulders, a twirling flounce for the sleeves, a close-fitting cut to support the bust, pants with flattering lines that elongate the legs and keep two pockets on the back for carrying your postcards. What more could you ask for?

To sew Monica, we recommend a fabric with 2-3% stretch for greater comfort, even if 100% cotton is perfectly suitable, but offers less flexibility of movement. For a 70's spirit, go for chambray for a denim look, but not too denim. A double gauze for midsummer days (be careful to iron the flounce), a slightly thick satin for a chic look, a double crepe, or any textured fabric will be preferable.

Of course, big floral patterns are a must. On the other hand, we don't recommend any fabric that's likely to poach: viscose, tencel, lyocell are to be avoided. For our part, we took the opportunity to sew the Monica in 2 coupons of our sublime pink Daisy cotton canvas, enough to celebrate the arrival of fine weather!
