The Sanaë dress has a flowing and summery silhouette. Pleated along the shoulders, it features a V-neckline, two inseam pockets and two ties at the back. It’s a flared cut that can be adjusted at the waist with drawstrings.
It’s available in two lengths: mid-length and long.
We recommend light and fluid fabrics such as cotton (raw or blended with linen), silk, silk and viscose crepes for a relaxed summery version, or light woolens for a mid-season dress.
Our Sanaë dresses were made with a medium weight cotton in off-white and a viscose crepe with a sunny floral print.
This pattern requires at least 2m of fabric: it’s the length of the drawstrings. However, it’s possible for some sizes to reduce the yardage by shortening their length.
