Vali Dress. Great result, frustrating process.

I kind of wish I could give this pattern a 3.5 star rating but decided to be generous and round up instead of down. The result of this pattern is stunning, no doubt about that. But certain technical aspects of this dress left me very frustrated and took away the joy of making this dress. Especially the fact that the yoke wasn’t cut with a double layer of fabric but instead the neckline was finished with a facing. Said facing was also cut in unnecessarily many pieces. I wrote in much more detail about this in THIS blog post.

The fabric is a viscose/linen blend and works very well for this style.
