Dress (and blouse), with a dropped-waist and visible zipper in the back. The casual dress is rather loose-fitting, but if you want a more slim-fitting style, the bodice offers optional back darts. Because of its low-hip seam between the bodice and skirt, the dress has an undeniable babydoll flair.
The main difficulty comes from sewing the visible zipper in the back and its square base.
You can play with constrasting zippers and fabrics. The Mademoiselle Babydoll dress has only one ruffle whereas the blouse version offers two ruffles. Various sleeve types are patterned: ¾ sleeves, shorts sleeves or even sleeveless…
It’s up to you!
