Sangria dress

I love this pattern – it’s a quick sew, and a great wardrobe basic.

This is the first version of Sangria I made, using some mystery fabric from Birmingham Rag Market (I think it’s a mid-weight jersey). The pattern is designed for scuba jersey, to achieve a smooth line over the body (i.e. avoid visible panty line). I have tried it in three different fabrics now, and found it works well in jerseys, as well as scuba jerseys, particularly if they are medium weight. As an added bonus, in a stretchy knit you can skip the back zip, making this an even quicker sew.
