Pauline is a true statement dress; dramatic, romantic and loaded with special details. Create truly distinct looks by mixing and matching sleeves and skirt styles to make the Pauline of your dreams.

View A is a chic, sleeveless sheath with a straight skirt that hits just above the knee. View B features a striking puff sleeve in two lengths and a midi-length tiered skirt. All views feature a unique bodice design that incorporates knife pleats at the waist, a face-framing square neckline and a keyhole opening in the back bodice at the nape of the neck. Pauline can be made unlined or fully lined and is closed with an invisible zipper at the centre back.

This multi-size paper pattern caters for sizes 0-20.

This pattern is so versatile and can be made in a variety of fabrics depending on the desired effect - meaning you can have hundreds and hundreds of different versions! What could be better? For a structured look and shape use medium weight wovens, such as this gorgeous Atelier Brunette linen mix. For a softer effect, use viscose, or even silk if you're feeling fancy.
