The Design
The Soliflore dress by Maison Fauve is an elegant design with many beautiful features. It has a straight cut, is shaped with a belt, and has a slit at the side front to add a touch of femininity. Its large collar elevates without constricting the neck so you can hold your head high, and is finished with a button placket so it can be worn closed or open and folded down. It can be finished in different variations to change the length, with or without the collar, and also as a blouse.
Recommended Fabrics
Light to medium-weight fabrics (80 to 200 g/m2), such as fine poplin, twill, crepe, fine
jacquard, fine, supple denim, cotton, viscose, silk. The collar and cuffs are held in place by the interfacing, making soft fabrics a good option.
