In case you’re wondering..

This super easy dress to sew has some really easy finishes.

Yes this dress is very plain and very wearable.

Linen and cotton in this fabric made my pattern decision making process very easy.

The neckline finishes come out much nicer when you iron each stage as you go. Ironing with this fabric is the key to getting a brilliant make from it.

There’s no need to shy away from overlocking the seams.

I love that there are no closures for this pattern. This is also an easy dress to wear when you are also seated.
