Now that I’ve done the test version that you see above, I can now move onto making the planned version using Minerva Brushstroke Blooms linen viscose fabric.

When I bought Style Arc Peggy woven dress, it was size 8 which worked on my at the time. Since adding width to this dress, I felt more confident to cut into this fabric that has so much colour and vibrance to it.

This is my coord I sewed in 2023 using the same print in a viscose jersey knit that Minerva offers. When I had the opportunity to order the same print in linen viscose, I was pleased to have this next version to work with.

I’ve now got the Style Arc Peggy woven pattern to the shape that fits me so I can now cut into this new fabric and know I’ve got a much better chance to make this next dress fit.

I’ll pay more attention to how the pockets are sewn this time too.
