Fibre Mood Franca Dress

Buy the Franca Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Freedom! The mid-length Franca shirtdress enjoys making life easy for you. The large curved side slits at the bottom gives the design a gentle, friendly feel. But the polo collar, yoke at the back and short inset sleeves give it just the right dose of spirit. Dress up Franca in crepe or satin or go the cosy casual route with linen. Altering the length is easy as 1-2-3. Franca also looks fab over skinny jeans, leggings or even wide-leg trousers. She's also sure to be your best friend at the beach in an airy cotton. Just slip her on over your swimsuit!

Suggested fabrics: Make Franca in a fabric with a fluid drape. Woven fabrics such as viscose (crepe), polyester (crepe), cotton, satin, linen and Tencel are all good options. Knit fabrics also work as long as they have enough body. The details (collar, closure, etc.) won’t look crisp with a lightweight, overly thin jersey.

Sizing: XS – XXXL (approx. UK 6 – 28/30). Please check the size chart and finished garment measurements.
