Suggested fabrics: Depending on the look you want, you can use various types of fabrics, including wovens and knits. Interlock (e.g., ponte roma), jacquard jersey, and neoprene make for a lovely Gusta. The sample was sewn in a fairly heavy, soft sueded jersey.

Sizing: EU 32 – 58 / US 0 – 26 / UK 4 – 30 (approx. UK 6 – 26/28, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements.

Notions: Thread; iron-on interfacing, 30 cm; zip, 25 cm; double-sided tape (for taping seams).

Note: Seam allowances are included in this pattern. The copy shop file we print for you shows the cutting lines only (not cutting lines and stitching lines) to make it easier to know what size to cut out.

Don't be put off by the Fibremood picture!

The image in the book/magazine provides little in the way of inspiration but delving deeper on the Fibremood website brought up many makers’ Gustas in cosy jacquard jerseys and also wovens.

The Gusta dress is fairly straight-cut dress with a rounded neckline and exposed zip at the back. It also has ingenious hidden pockets incorporated into the French darts.

I made up a straight size 38 (UK size 10) in accordance with my measurements.

I tried it on whenever I could and unpicked the shoulder/sleeve seam to take 1cm off the shoulder width at the top and also down the front, necessary probably due to my forward shoulders.

It didn’t need the zip to get it over the head but I went back and put one in from my stash just to add a feature.

You do have to be accurate to get the pockets to sit perfectly into the french dart.
