Heather Dress

This is a really cosy dress. I chose to do the contrast arms to use up some remnants I had and I quite like how it turned out. Despite a few comments that I look like I’m wearing a pinny, its a great comfy option for work that I’ve been wearing a lot.

The pockets are fab, nice and deep. The pockets were definitely the most mind-bending part of this pattern. It’s not that they were particularly hard to sew, I just needed to go over the instructions a few times to understand what they were asking me to do. I didn’t actually end up doing it the way they suggest, but it worked so I’m not complaining!

I expected the dress to make me look a bit more pear-shaped than I am, but I think it’s flattering nonetheless. More detail on my blog: https://aitcheysews.wordpress.com/2019/02/19/namesake-series-soi-heather-dress/
