Fibre Mood Viva Dress

Buy the Viva Dress sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. A minimalist princess dress with darling sleeves and a square neckline. The front and sleeves drape effortlessly from gathers at the yoke. Make Viva with a generous flounce at the bottom. Or if you prefer a more understated look, simply leave it off. And there’s no time wasted fiddling with fastenings – just pull Viva on and go. Viva...Viva!
