Suggested Fabrics: 

Cupro, sandwashed silk, rayon, Tencel, silk satin, silk charmeuse, silk crepe, linen viscose, washed line.

Fitting Notes:

This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5’7. 

Don’t take too much notice of the finished garment measurements, as these will change with each different fabric choice. The measurements have been taken from a static pattern piece, but the fabric will stretch and fit around the body as it’s been cut on the bias and will have more give than something cut on the straight grain.

This is a slip on dress - meaning there are no zip or button closures. Because of this, the waist has a bit more design ease to account for the fact it needs to be pulled over the bust.
