Isla Dress – piped version

Reviewed by Sarah Boddey on 24th February, 2020

This is another well drafted pattern from Sew Over It, with their usual clear instructions and illustrations.  I used a rayon/viscose for mine and decided to omit the shoulder and yoke frills as I’m not really a frills kind of person!  Instead I inserted piping on the yoke and I think it gives it a lovely vintage feel.  I cut a size 13 and used a 16” zip as I felt the 22” zip that was called for in the notions list was too long.  Any drapey fabric would work well for this pattern, the skirt has lovely swish and fluidity to it.
