Description

Slightly oriental in style due to the fabric choice!
Has no zipper (forgot about it and had sewn the bodice and lined it) no pockets or split at the front, 2 splits at back and a gathered/elasticised centre back section! I am thinking of permanently sewing a lace insert into the front – and I think I need to take the shoulders up some more.

Material Notes

Cotton fabric, buttons, elastic

Novice

    I really like this version! I didn’t even think about how summery this pattern could be, I was really focused on the professional look wool-blend with an undershirt. Probably doesn’t help that I’m in a bulky sweater and shivering in my classroom at this moment! Great job and the cat is adorable!

    I adore this dress. Great fit. The fabric makes Laura very different looking.
