I sewed several things for my daughter for Christmas. The first item was this dress.
I used this OOP Butterick pattern that I made for her before and she loved it.
The fabric is a rayon jersey. I doubled the bodice front and sewed down the opening so it wouldn't gape and I lined the skirt with tricot lining.. I left out the side zipper because the fabric had so much stretch.
As usual, I worried that the dress wouldn't fit but it did and very well too. Here's a peek at my darling daughter on her first day back at work after Christmas
