Josephine Blose and Dress

The Josephine is a great pattern, (one of many from Fibremood 21) it comes as a Top/Blouse which I made here, and also two dress versions, one is literally the top extended to dress length and the second with a fitted skirt having a side zip which imparts a really flattering fit.

I chose to make my top in a really lovely Viscose Challis. My real driver was to check the fit before moving onto the dress, but I know I’ll get tons of wear from the top, it’s so versatile, and can be worn both smart with some nice trousers or skirt or dressed down with some jeans for a more casual look.

I think my favourite feature is the little V-cut-out at the neckline, so flattering as it just breaks up the expanse of the bodice. But yet, its high enough to be still warm and respectable (for work). The other really cool feature is the lengthened cuff which closes with 4 buttons, very stylish!!

I really hope you like my Josephine I do, and I hope it inspires you to make one of your own!
