Zadie dress
The Zadie dress is probably the most ambitious project I’ve made so far due to the precision needed to match the pieces and get those lovely angles. I used some lightweight jersey in floral for skirt and bodice with black for the side panels and arms. It’s a slightly shiny jersey fabric which looks almost like sportswear close up but makes for a supremely comfortable dress! I took my time over this and did it in two days, mainly because the fabric was a nightmare to unpick and I had to cut a side panel out again so I wanted to be careful. I really like this dress a lot though – you can go casual with ballet pumps or dress it up a bit more with a little cardi. Plus it was my first make with pockets so I have a real soft spot for it! I can see me sewing up another one nearer the winter in a ponte fabric.
