#cotton sateen

Pattern: Vogue v9357

Fabric: Stretch cotton sateen by Mood Fabrics

Modification: Pleated pockets

Notes:

This is a fun pattern to work on. There are so many possibilities with plaids and stripes. When I saw this fabric I know I wanted to showcase some of it in pleats. The oversized pockets in pattern is the perfect place for it.

Fabric cutting is the only tricky part. Everything else is very straightforward. For this dress I chose not to add lining as the fabric has enough weight and quite comfortable on the touch.

I love everything about this pattern. The fit is flattering and the style is versatile.

Possible improvement: I might consider changing the direction of the waist yoke pieces so the back stripes won’t just go vertical all the way.
