How do I sew a Lexie dress?

Introducing Lexie, the two-taste dress to overcome any indecision! Bi-colored or bi-motif, it lends itself to every style, and there's nothing to stop you from making it plain. With its bow at the shoulder, it adapts to all bust lengths, while the bow at the waist allows you to loosen or tighten the waist as you wish, at any time of day. And as comfort is paramount for us, it has a front slit for easy walking and a hidden side zip for putting it on in no time at all.

We advise you to choose a fabric that's supple enough to maintain the gracefulness of the dress. Try to choose two relatively similar fabrics. Play with color combinations - acid, pastel or bright - or combine large and small patterns.

We chose a lightweight polyester satin from Coupons St Pierre. As luck would have it, the same fabric was available in several different colors, and we went for all of them. If you're not too fond of polyester, you could opt for a cotton-elastane blend, a viscose or why not a cotton gauze for real Greek statue inspiration? Sf your fabric is too thin, don't hesitate to iron the bows. 

To sew Lexie, you'll need :
-1m of 140cm wide fabric or 1m20 of 110cm wide fabric for part of the dress,
-1m80 of 140cm fabric or 2m of 110cm fabric for the second part of the dress.
-a little fusible web,
-1 invisible zip 35cm long.
