I used Dashwood Studio knit jersey

McCall’s M6886 Sewing Pattern Review –

The fabric was the last of its roll that I bought from John Lewis back when it was open. It is a drapey viscose jersey with a lovely touch feel. This is the sort of fabric that reminds of the Boden dresses – very soft but stable. Sadly I never did find it again at John Lewis.

The simplicity of sewing this dress is at odds with how well presented and chic I feel in it – surely something so quick to sew shouldn’t be so elegant?  Yet it is and that is the beauty of this pattern – I can see why it’s incredibly popular in the sewing community with over 160 reviews on PatternReview.
