Chloe's Summer
One pattern, infinite possibilities.
Discover a series of free tutorials below to transform Chloé, develop your creativity, and give it a new lease on life throughout the summer.
You will discover a total of three versions that I have sewn, from which several step-by-step tutorials are derived.
My first version
Discover below a series of step-by-step tutorials to follow to recreate this version sewn without a button placket or lining.
TUTORIAL NO. 1
Sew the Chloé sewing pattern without a button placket
The Chloé sewing pattern is characterized by its smocked effect, achieved using elastic casings that are more durable and ensure a garment that stands the test of time, as well as by its central button placket.
Here, I am offering you a hack to sew the Chloé dress (or top) without the button placket.
TUTORIAL NO. 2
Sew the Chloé sewing pattern unlined
The Chloé sewing pattern is fully lined; if you wish to sew it without a lining but still achieve a professional finish, find the sewing hack you will need to follow below.
My second version
Discover below a series of step-by-step tutorials to follow to recreate this version with a peplum and adjustable straps.
TUTORIAL NO. 3
Add a gathered peplum to the Chloé dress
This step-by-step tutorial allows you to recreate Chloé's version above by adding a gathered peplum to the bottom of the dress.
TUTORIAL NO. 4
Sewing adjustable straps
In this step-by-step tutorial, I will teach you how to create adjustable straps. For this, you will need an adjustable strap kit, which is available on my website.
My third version
This final tutorial will allow you to make a smocked bustier top to recreate this version by Chloé.
To carry out all these hacks,
you will need the Chloé sewing pattern, available right here:
