Robe & Chemisier Orchidée

I was looking for a breast pumping friendly dress for a beach wedding.
The buttons in the front make this dress pattern perfect. The only detail I found difficult was finding matching rat tail cord, since I had limited time to finish this dress.

This dress is awesome, as is usual for Deer and Doe patterns and my body. I love the soft feminine shape and the practicality of the front opening as well as the side zip. I'm still breastfeeding so it makes it wearable for me at this point. Since I have a 7 month old, I am making very slow progress on this, but have the bodice just about complete and am soooo over-the-moon happy with it. I decided to make the outer in an embroidered net and the underlayer with a different neckline. I've had to get really creative with the finishing and modified a lot of the construction details to support the new concept, but I'm really happy with how it's working out. I'm excited to get the skirt on soon (and add side-seam pockets!)

I really loved making this pattern. I‘ve made it twice and am very happy with both iterations. I have a G cup so I did a pretty significant full bust adjustment. I didn’t need any other adjustments. I‘ve gotten lots of compliments on these dresses and will definitely use this pattern again!

Loved the style and fit of the dress but the designer asked for button cord to do the button loops. I didn’t like this so made my own out of the fabric which were much better in my opinion.

Ce modèle me faisait de l’oeil depuis longtemps et je suis tombée amoureuse de sa forme flatteuse et ses finitions soignée, un patron bien taillé, des vidéos explicatives (couture et paillette) en complément qui facilite le montage, je suis très contente du résultat.

Très beau patron
