PRINTED PAPER PATTERN ON THICK QUALITY PAPER (NOT TISSUE)

The Style Arc Maeve Dress is an effortlessly elegant dress pattern featuring a flattering V-neckline and a beautifully draped front detail that can be styled in multiple ways.

Designed for soft woven fabrics with fluid drape, the Maeve Dress combines comfort with sophisticated styling. The front drape is secured with a single button and loop fastening, allowing you to button it on the outside for a feature detail, fasten it discreetly on the inside, or leave it unbuttoned for a more relaxed look.

The front and back yokes extend into the sleeves, creating clean lines through the shoulders, while turn-up cuffs and an inverted back pleat add both comfort and style. The loose-fitting silhouette slips on easily and drapes beautifully, making it an ideal choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
