Zenith… the beauty of the sun at its peak, a set of darts that fan out and give you an unbelievable silhouette. The pattern gives you 2 versions: a dress that has that certain something and a blouse that is so easy to wear in everyday life. Each version is available with 3 sleeve finishes ... it's a real summer array from sunrise to sunset!

Sewing Level: intermediate for the blouse and advanced for the dress, the technical points are the seam of the darts of the bust, the installation of the invisible zip of the dress.

Size: from 6 to 18 (34 to 46), for a height of 1m65

THE SEWING VALUES ARE INCLUDED IN THE PATTERN AND ARE 1CM, 1.5CM FOR THE MIDDLE BACK AND 2 CM FOR THE LOW HEM (DRESS AND BLOUSE)
