Fibre Mood Mindy Dress

Buy the Mindy Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. There are statement sleeves and there are statement sleeves. Mindy definitely falls into the latter category. This Balkan inspired dress with a gorgeous square neckline (another super trend!) is destined to be a hit! Love the big sleeves, but not wild about the puffy effect? Leave out the elastic in the sleeve hem and you'll have fluttery butterfly sleeves. Mindy is neatly fitted at the bust, with an A-line skirt that slightly flares.

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

Suggested fabrics: Mindy should be made in a fabric with a bit of body, such as cotton, jacquard weave, brocade, broderie anglaise, etc. Solids, prints and subtle textures all work. Want to bring out the ultra romantic side of this dress? Make it in white! Do you prefer butterfly sleeves to puffed sleeves? Then go for a fabric with a fluid drape.
