Zoe dress – needle cord and cotton versions

Pleased with how this turned out and I’ve already worn it a lot. Comfortable and flattering. Worked well with slate coloured needle cord. Would probably grade down a size at the waist next time.

The second version is made of cotton from a roll end, meaning some of the colours don’t line up perfectly. But I love the finished dress, especially the pattern matching across the zip on the back.  It was my first attempt at this, and I think my niece Zoe will be equally impressed (she’s five).
