I sewed the smallest size of Zoe without darts in a cotton/poly jersey. I used the smallest size so that the dress was form fitting. I thought I might add the back darts, but after trying it on, I decided I didn’t need it. Because of the bolt width, I added a pleat in the back skirt as well as the front.

nice job! i’m sewing this in a knit fabric too, so it’s a relief to see that it looks just as good as the wool version.
