❝ A unique dress
pour a unique woman. ❞
Our concept of sewing patterns offers you a rich experience of custom-made and personalized creations.
To sew your custom dress, choose from our range, a pattern for the top, another for the bottom, and another for the sleeves (if you wish and/or if it possible with the chosen top). All tops and bottoms patterns are compatible.
These options, combined with the selection of your fabric and haberdashery, will help you get a unique creation !
Design your dress !
100% compatible patterns
To sew your custom creation, follow the 9 chapters of the top, bottom and sleeves instruction booklets. Some steps can be skipped and depend on the options you have chosen.
FACINGS
Facings are pieces inside your creation that are used to finish the neckline and armholes.
In the top patterns (except those that are not compatible with the sleeves), you will find two types of facings.
How to choose the type of facing?
This choice depends on the pattern of the sleeves. Before cutting your fabric, check your sleeves pattern in order to determine whether it is a type 1 or 2.
For a sleeveless creation, you will have to choose the type 2 facings.
FASTENING
Depending on the models, the fastening of your dress or jumpsuit (zipper, buttons, …) will be located at center back or on the side. This location will determine how you cut and match the bottom of your personalized creation.
How to choose the type of fastening?
This choice depends on the top pattern. Before cutting your fabric, check your top pattern to determine if the fastening is on center back or on the side.
Then follow the corresponding cutting instructions in the bottom booklet.

Bust
It is measured where the breast is the fullest, arms at your sides, keeping the tape measure horizontal. Take your measurements with or without a bra depending on what you will wear under your dress.
Cup
You must measure your chest, just below your bust. The cup is determined by calculating the difference between bust size and chest size.
• A & B cup: between 12cm and 15cm• C & D cup: between 16cm and 20cm
Waist
It is measured at the thinnest point, a few inches above the belly button without tightening.
Hips
It is measured at the fullest part of the buttocks. Take this measurement several times and select the larger value.
Height
The length of a dress is essential for a flattering fall. This is why our patterns are available in three statures.
• Petite : less than 1m60
• Standard : approximately 1m65
• Tall : over 1m70
We don’t just shorten the skirt, we also adjust the height of the bust to ensure that the waist seam fits your actual waist.
However, each woman is different. You may have a small bust and long legs or vice versa. You may choose a «standard» top and a «tall» bottom. A muslin will help you determine your stature.
