From Camimade:

Colette is the ultimate long summer dress. It is very comfortable to wear with its loose fitted empire line, wide sleeves and boat neck. Colette is effortless chic with front buttons and many pleats on both sides of a shaped waistband. The pattern also comes as a blouse, a timeless option that you can wear daily. Whether you choose to sew the dress or the blouse, prepare your sunglasses, a big sun hat and sandals!

The Colette dress is an intermediate level sewing pattern, with a concealed zip closure, a facing and inner waistband to sew.

SUGGESTED FABRICS:

Light to medium weight fabric: cotton poplin, cotton lawn, cotton sateen, soft linen, seersucker, silk crêpe, etc. 

Regarding the samples shown in the pictures, for the dress I used a linen blend, and for the blouse, a cotton poplin.

​​​​​​Sizes:  A - H, or Bust sizes 82 - 116 cm (32¼" - 45¾")
