Alix Dress – Printed Pattern – English | Cha' coud

Alix is a lovely long wrapover dress with a fitted waist and graceful, flowing lines. The pattern features flared ruffles at the shoulders, a short row of buttons at the top of the skirt leaving an elegant slit below, and a fully lined bodice for a beautiful clean finish.

Perfect for special occasions or summer evenings, Alix can be styled up or down with your fabric choice — a swiss dot cotton voile like the designer's, or a fluid viscose for maximum drape.
