The Transat dress is the perfect summer piece for lounging by the water. Easy and quick to sew, it does not lack charm. The bust is constructed with a nice pleat on the shoulders, the neckline is embellished by a front and back V neck (bra friendly!) and it has a nice slit in the middle front that brings sophistication to the piece. TRANSAT is very comfortable to wear with its smooth line and belted waistband.
Suggested Fabrics: light to medium weight fabrics (80 to 200 g/m2) with more or less hold depending on the desired look. A viscose, a soft jacquard, a tencel, a cotton, a crepe, a poplin, a satin, or a twill. A fluid fabric will give a supple fall, a fabric with a little hold will bring more puffiness.
