I sewed Santana in a chiffon fabric and I loved being able to chose its length, the number and height of ruffles. This pattern has endless variations and is super comfortable to wear

Skirt tested in its short version... Ideal for the summer... To be sewn again with all its ruffles

I sewed Santana in its long version and it is very comfortable to wear! The effect of the ruffles is superb! The pattern offers a lot of freedom to create the skirt that suits you best: high waist or not, height of the skirt, number of ruffles...

I did the long version and I love it. I plan to make one again very soon
Super well explained pattern and above all the technical booklet is full of tips and very detailed explanations

I love the waistband piece which is corded piping compatible as I love.
Sewn in midi length without ruffles: all that's missing is the sun to tan my legs ?
Sabrina P –
Very detailed tutorial with lots of photos. The skirt is gorgeous and I love the cutout on the top of the dress. Lots of possibilities, a skirt to have in your dressing room
@juliecestjoli –
The pattern is perfect! I strongly recommend it because it offers several versions: a short, midi or long skirt. The explanations are very clear, the sewing presents no difficulty (a zipper to master only). I love it!
Juliette @l_aiguille_a_laine on Instagram –
A great pattern to sew and re-sew! And since there are multiple options, it's a different skirt each time. I have already sewn it twice: once in midi size without ruffles (it reaches above the knee) and another time in mini with only one ruffle (same height as the first one). In short, a treat to sew and also very well explained!

Un patron à décliner aux grès de vos envies et qui offre une multitude de possibilités. Les explications sont très claires et il est très agréable à coudre. Foncez, vous ne le regretterez pas 🙂

Another great pattern from Atelier Adriette with multiple possibilities, long skirt, short skirt, 1, 2…6 ruffles, it's up to you!
Explanations always very clear!

Moi qui porte peu ou très peu de jupe je me suis laissée convaincre. Débutante je n’en avais jamais cousue et ce fut un réel plaisir comme les autres patrons Atelier Adriette. Tout est bien expliqué et on arrive très vite à « ah ben c’est déjà fini?! » Très agréable à porter. J’ai fait la midi taille basse. Je referai les autres versions. C’est ça qui est bien aussi c’est toutes les versions possible.
