Description

The Maite sewing pattern offers two stylish variations: a sophisticated tunic and a graceful maxi dress. Both designs have raglan sleeves, a straight silhouette, and a delicate waist belt. The tunic features an O-neck with tie fastenings, straight ¾-length sleeves, and side slits. The dress has a V-neck, long puff sleeves, practical side pockets, and fastens with shank buttons.

Recommended Fabric

Lightweight, non-stretch, and fairly drapey fabric, such as viscose challis and crepe, cotton lawn, or washed linen.

Fabric Requirements

The fabric requirements account for a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Keep in mind that fabric consumption may be higher for patterned fabrics or those that must be cut in a single direction.
