Minimal frosting

Who know that this casual laid back dress could also produce such a party ready beauty?! I found 1.5m of lovely metallic linen in my stash and decided it needed to be something sparkly for Christmas and was set of getting a dress, rather than a top out of it. Most of the dress patterns I had required at least 2m of fabric, including the trapeze BUT I realised how cute it would love as a above the knee super wide swingy dress and chopped 5inches off the length to achieve my dreams. I absolutely love this pattern and can see many more in my future. I didn’t do the facing, choosing to use the facing from the sleeve version and bias bind the armholes. I made a straight size m and French seamed everything.
