SEWING LEVEL
Confident beginner (2/5): this dress will be fairly easy to make for anyone who made a few garments already, knows how to read a pattern and how to sew an invisible zipper. The instructions booklet offers a lot of detailed digital illustrations to understand each step of the process.
FABRIC CHOICE
Lightweight woven fabrics (examples: twill, crepe, poplin… in viscose, tencel, silk, linen, cotton, polyester…). The lining must be of a lighter or similar weight, and of a similar drape.
NOTIONS
A 10 inch (25cm) invisible zipper, thread matching your fabric, a machine needle matching your fabric type, a marking pen, scissors and pins. A loop turner will also be useful for straps.
