Black Diamond Flock Jersey Dress

This pattern is lovely and simple, there are three types of neckline (round, scoop and a v-neck), three different hem lengths (although you could cut it to whatever length you wanted!) and four different sleeve options. There are also no darts, fastenings or facings for this pattern making it a really ideal pattern for a beginner. The only version to be wary of if you are new to sewing jersey is the v-neck; you need to put in a neckband for this one.
I decided for my dress to cut out version A, a round neckline with short sleeves and a short hem length which ended just above the knee, hopefully an ideal dress for a smart/casual xmassy type dinner! I decided to use this black diamond flock stretch viscose fabric from Sewalicious. It’s kind of like a ponte roma but with a bit more structure; it’s got a bit of stretch to it and it’s lovely and soft as the diamonds are raised and made of a velvety type material, making it seem very luxurious and definitely worthy of becoming a dress!
