Dahlia Dress - Fortiv - PDF Download
The inspiration for the Dahlia came from the desire to have a puff sleeve dress that felt easeful, playful and comfortable to wear! The bodice is drafted to be looser while still having shape through bust darts and a slightly tapered side seam. The curved front waistline adds interest while also creating added movement and comfort. The sleeve has ease in the armhole, sitting at the natural shoulder line and expanding from the shoulder down to the cuff, creating a gentle puff sleeve that sits just above the elbow. The gathered skirt has inseam pockets for the short and long dress views, and all views have a visible bound finish at the neckline and sleeve cuffs.
There are 3 skirt options to choose from and 2 neckline options, creating 6 variations for you to make your Dahlia!
