Evi Dress

Sewing Skill: Confident Beginner 

Size: 0-20  Finished Bust 33.5"-52"

Meet the Evi dress. Trimmed with center front buttons. Tailored for a slim fit and belted for added definition.  The front hem  upside down "V" cut out allows for easy movement and an eye catching detail.  Make it in denim for a casual everyday dress or a wool/wool crepe to add a little more sophistication.  The Evi will also work well in a thicker cotton twill or linen.  The dress is unlined.  You'll reach for this dress year round. 

Model is 5'8 and is wearing size 8.

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: This dress has both bust and bodice darts so go with a fabric that will mold to your curves.  Choose wovens, or heavy knits like Pointe with no more than 2% stretch. Denim with stretch will work too.  If you go with a stretchier knit you may need to size down.  Wools and wool crepes will work with you curves beautifully.  Cottons and linens will work nicely too and your look with be more structured.
