Lucia — Wrapped Camisole Sundress Pattern
Lucia is a flowy, feminine sundress that adds romance to your look with a flirty faux-wrap front, spaghetti straps and a cinched drawstring waist. Its best assets are the plunging neckline and narrow straps that show a bit of skin on a hot day. There's something about crisp white linen that just screams summer. The fresh hues, the cooling effect on a warm day, the way white looks coupled with tanned skin... all good things that make a little white dress an absolute go-to for any occasion.

I loved sewing up this pattern! The drawstring made the dress a little unique and the end product looked very professional. I made a test top to ensure the straps fit well. I made the 4/6 size but shortened the straps by almost 2 inches so the top wasn't so low cut. I will be making more of these with linen for sure.
I have made this twice now as a dress and once as a cropped top. I absolutely love the style and fit. If I am a small D cup so I sized up and then just worked the ease to fit my curves and it turned out beautifully. I really enjoyed this, thanks!
This dress looks so cute, but trying to get a good fit when you have a fuller bust than the model is more bother than it's worth. It made up really pretty in the IL019 Gauche but I was forever readjusting because of gapping when I wore it.

Thanks for your review. we appreciate any and all feedback. Our patterns, like many others, are designed for a B-cup bust. If you differ from this size we suggest adjusting the pattern using a full or small bust adjustment. We have a link to our tutorial which steps you through the process for getting the best fit! blog.fabrics-store.com/2017/01/10/sewing-glossary-full-bust-adjustment-tutorial/
There are some flaws in the pattern. For instance, why cut the bias tape for the neckline and the piece for the belt on the fold?????? You actually need to cut two and join them to get the right length needed. Also, when making the casing for the belt, you need to fold the skirt selvage toward the right side, not the wrong side- that took me forever to figure out. And one should fit the camisole top before attaching to the skirt and adjust. Otherwise it's a sloppy hot mess of a thing and needs a snap or button or stitch to hold together the floppy v-neck.
Very happy with this dress... after doing a full bust adjustment it is very flattering. I used il019 and while it's sort of a headache to cut (with linen that's to be expected) it sews up beautifully!
