Anaïs is an extremely versatile model, as it can vary in style depending on the different collar versions and the fabrics used.
A simple, straight and slightly fitted dress that lets the volume of the sleeve, which comes in long and short versions, truly shine.
A slip-on dress without a zip or buttons.
For the sleeves, there are 2 possible finishes:
– a first with the assembly of the ball sleeve whose effect is created thanks to an undersleeve (lining) and an elastic at the bottom.
– a 2nd version without lining, with a ruffled finish that embellishes the wrist for a "so romantic" feel!
For the collars, there are 3 versions with very different styles:
– a first, with a collar stand and its delicate, very refined flounce, which will close with a pretty button and a strap at the back of the neck
– a second one, with a high collar which gives the blouse a modern and elegant style; this one will close with two straps and two buttons
– a 3rd version, without a collar to free up the neck and showcase your prettiest necklace
All these versions can be mixed and matched endlessly as a dress or blouse.
A soft and dry fabric (not heavy) will be ideal to highlight the beautiful volume of the sleeve, a plain or printed fabric according to your wishes.
