I made a simple work dress from some drapey silk crepe type material in greyish-purple, cream and black. It's not really what I would usually choose. But I felt like something different for autumn. It's already proved quite a useful garment: I just throw it over a plain black slip dress, tights and boots. I like the loose airyness of it.
The pattern is 'D' from 'Stylish Dress Book 2', a Japanese sewing book, bought a few years back. It's also the pattern on the cover of the book, though I made it without the extra sleeve length. I hadn't looked at this book in ages, hooray for useful rediscoveries.
In the past I made a few garments from it, but was inspired to try this particular pattern when I saw a similar dress (except with buses on it!) made by Fiona on her Instagram feed.
Wishing you a happy weekend. Keep warm, wherever you are.
