Fibre Mood Alena Dress

Buy the Alena Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. At first glance, Alena looks like a simple casual dress with a round neckline and short sleeves. Spin her round though and you'll discover an elegantly designed back opening. At the back, elastic brings in the waist of the dress for a striking accent. Alena is designed with a subtle fitted cut. She will look gorgeous in whatever length you choose.
