Fibre Mood Octavia Dress

Buy the Octavia Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. The Charlotte Dress was the muse for Octavia. But muse doesn’t mean the same. The designer has added pleats to the sleeve cap to give a more voluminous feel at the top, and tapered the sleeve towards the wrist. The gathers in the bodice emphasise the waist, which unfurls into a generous, flared skirt. And Octavia is zip- and buttonhole-free! The dress closes with snap fasteners, with or without a tie at the waist. Oh-so-comfy, on-trend, and super chic.
