Carla Dress
What kind of pattern is the Carla dress?
This dress pattern features a beautiful, fitted princess seam design. The waist seam gently slopes down the front in a V-shape. Optionally, the back can be embellished with a lace-up detail, but the dress looks great even if you choose not to include it.
From the waist seam, the skirt flares out in a half-circle shape.
Finally, the sleeves have a flared design and are fitted at the shoulder with elastic.
❕❕ The Carla dress pattern is part of the Mix & Match section, which means that both the bodice and the skirt can be combined with other dress patterns we offer (Valeria, Dominique, Altea, Brisa, Julieta...) to create new designs simply by combining the two by the waist line and sewing them together.
