Fibre Mood Gabby Dress

Buy the Gabby Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Meet Gabby, with the ‘G’ from ‘good time’ and ‘graceful’. And it does it all without extravagant details. This dress has a wonderful drape. The triangular insert (godet) at the front is an eye-catcher, alongside the two-in-one balloon sleeves, which have a shorter inner sleeve that pulls the outer sleeve in. Gabby’s got some drama going on, but is still wonderfully simple. Too much drama? Just drop the godet – easy as that.

Suggested fabrics: There are many possibilities. Poplin, chambray, linen, lyocell, muslin, crepe (viscose, polyester…), satin, embroidery, lace…we could go on. If you like statement sleeves, then definitely choose a stiff fabric. You can also use a knitted fabric.
