Lucia — Wrapped Camisole Sundress Sewing Pattern (PDF)
Description:
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 have made several of these dresses in both medium weight and heavy weight linen. They are my summer house/garden dress. The pattern is a quick sew and is very adjustment friendly. Thank you for this resource!
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/
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!
