Tessuti Fabrics Alice Dress and Top

I love this dress. I made up @tessutifabrics #tessutialicedress from some beautiful embroidered light denim or chambray (not sure which it is). This dress is perfect for the hot humid St. Louis summer weather. I made a size L with no adjustments (B41W35H42).

The instructions were clear and easy to follow.  If you want the sleeve caps to drape, I would recommend not using the optional interfacing.  I did use is and the sleeve caps are pretty stiff, which I like in my dress.  The sleeve caps are just a bit fussy, but not difficult if you take it slow.  The other slightly tricky part for me is the gathers, I just struggle with them.  But using 3 rows of stitching and a contrasting bobbin thread made it much easier.  I am sure I will make this pattern again, either as a dress or top, or both!!

This is my most used piece in my entire wardrobe (or maybe next to my rain coat) It is wonderful to wear loos fitting but stylish. The sizing is a little big the first one I made in a size L and I use it just as much as this one that is a size M one size smaller then I should choose according to the mechurments but the fit is better. I love the simplicity and even it the pattern is so simple it looks stunning. It the first thing to be used after every wash and I have been wearing it some important work things and felt spectacular.
