Transform the Haut Vol Dress into a Summer Top: a Super Easy Hack

There are dresses, and there is Haut Vol: a defined waist, a smooth bust with a neckline highlighted by yokes that give structure and form beautiful shoulders, a long dancing skirt with a front detailed with 2 stitched pleats which make the volume open out towards the bottom of the garment without accentuating the hips. A New dress, but still with Fauve details: a delicate cut that reveals a low neckline. Wearing the Haut Vol dress is to move forward proudly, with a confident look, ready to jump into your day... And feel your wings grow!

Sewing level: advanced, the technical aspects are the assembly of the bust with the yokes of the shoulders using the Burito method, the gathers and the installation of the zip.

UK Sizes: 6(34) to 24(52), for a height of 1m 65.

The margins of seams are included and are 1cm.

- Fabric for a width of 140cm:

Choice of fabric: light weight fabrics (80 to 200 g/m2) with more or less hold depending on the desired finish. Viscose, tencel, cotton, crepe, poplin, satin, or twill. A fluid fabric will give a supple fall, a fabric with a little hold will bring more volume.
