Our patterns are developed exclusively for Susan Khalje Couture by master Paris-based draper and couture pattern maker Julien Cristofoli. Susan and Julien have been dear friends and close collaborators for nearly twenty years, having built their relationship through working and teaching together. Julien's true mastery and unparalleled skill become apparent from the moment you begin working with his patterns. The process of using them as the foundation of your garments becomes a journey, with every turn revealing new details you'll appreciate and relish.

The elegant Boatneck Top - its bodice beautifully contoured with French darts - is a perfect addition to any wardrobe. It comes with a variety of sleeve options: a cap sleeve, a short sleeve, and a darted 3/4 length sleeve. One version closes with a zipper down the center back, while the other features a side zipper with a snapped placket in the top of the 3/4 length sleeve.

Familiar to many as the dress on the cover of Susan's best-selling book Linen & Cotton, it has a graceful, full circle skirt (with pockets), a fitted bodice (your choice of darts or princess seams), a jewel neckline and slightly cut-in armholes. A self-fabric belt is the finishing touch. It's the perfect summer dress - easy to make and lovely to wear.
