Pattern: Department Store, Cross Stitch Design

Like a stroll through Parisian department stores of yesteryear, this delightful cross-stitch composition celebrates the refined world of fashion and women's accessories. Elegant dresses, delicate shoes, precious bags, ribbons, hats, and sophisticated shop windows compose a charming scene inspired by French couture houses.

Powdered shades of pink, soft blue, chic black, and delicate green infuse this creation with a decidedly feminine and elegant atmosphere. Every detail evokes the refinement of Parisian boutiques, the pleasure of beautiful fabrics, and the timeless elegance of fashion accessories.

The model was stitched on a white Aida fabric, 14 count. To be stitched on a 14 or 18 count Aida fabric, or on an 11-thread/cm linen fabric. To preserve the full finesse and luminosity of the motifs, choose a white or light ecru fabric, which will delicately highlight the soft shades and refined small details of the composition.

The charts are printed with symbols and colors (Ref: DMC) on 6 pages.

Pattern size: 120 stitches wide × 160 stitches high; if you stitch on 11-thread/cm linen, over two warp and two weft threads, or on 14 count Aida, your embroidery will measure approximately 21.8 × 29.1 cm.
