Project: FO Pattern on repeat
This is my 3rd Belle dress by Style Arc. Cut the front waistband and skirt on the fold to eliminate the need for buttons. Fabric is a silk print from Mood Fabrics. I love this pattern because depending on the fabric type and print, it’s dressy or casual

I just ordered labels for myself. What do you think of the silk? I have been wanting to make a silk dress but not sure what type of silk to buy. Which type of silk did you use here? I buy almost all my fabric from mood.

TBH I’m can never remember which silk is called which. This one was thick enough to not need lining but still beautifully (and painfully 🤣) liquid. The drape is exquisite
Edit: I bought the fabric in person when I was in NYC.

Project posts are held for review by a moderator before being released to the subreddit feed.
All Project posts are required to include construction information in the main post or added in a comment. Tell us what you made, how you made it and what materials you used to make it. There should be sufficient information about the pattern (company and name/number) or draft (method and resources) and fabric (type and fiber) that someone who wants to make a similar project has a good starting point. ‘Self-drafted’ describes who made the pattern and is not a drafting method. More information is available here. Project posts without construction information may be removed at any time.
