Fibre Mood Avina Dress

Buy the Avina Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. Avina perfectly blends structure and ease. This corset-style dress is beautifully shaped through the bust and waist while giving your hips room to move. The neckline and armholes are neatly finished with a facing. Wear Avina on its own with heels for a fancy evening look, or as a pinafore dress over a turtleneck or blouse when it gets colder. You decide the vibe.

Suggested fabrics: Avina looks best in structured fabrics that hold their shape. Think corduroy, denim or a wool(-look) fabric such as double crepe for a warm, wintery version with character. For summer, the dress looks fresh and airy in linen, chambray or a light twill. Avoid fabrics that are too thin or stretchy – this design needs a bit of structure.
