Sewing planning: Fibre Mood 10 - Elma dress
The idea
I have made this dress before and I love it. I think this print will look awesome in it.

Hey, do you hear The Sound of Music too? ‘Sew...
a needle pulling thread!’ Elma is romantic and retro too... And yet
she’s still totally on trend – with adorable puffed sleeves, a
sweetheart neckline at the front and a U-shaped opening at the back.
Elma also has darts down the front and back, a button closure at the
front and flares towards the hemline. She looks divine in a longer
version and – wonder of wonders – can easily be transformed into a
charming top too.
For the most flattering fit, Elma works best in fabric with a fluid
drape, e.g. viscose Tencel or polyester (crepe) in a solid or a print.
That doesn’t mean stiffer fabrics like linen, chambray or cotton are out
of the question – just make sure they're woven and not knit. Jersey
isn't your friend if you want all those pretty details to look nice. And
of course, you do!
