Fibre Mood - MILENA dress Sewing Pattern

Every season deserves a dress with real wow factor, and this winter it's Milena's turn. The best part? This dress looks far more complex than it actually is to sew. The front panels twist elegantly around each other to create a unique, flattering effect, while the elasticated waist at the back ensures a beautiful fit. Milena fastens at the centre front with buttons, features simple long sleeves, and has a neckline neatly finished with bias binding. Perfect for the festive season or a stylish day at work.

Sewing level: beginner  

Materials & supplies:

• Thread 
• Iron-on interfacing: max. 95 cm
• Buttons (Ø 1 to 1.5 cm): 8 
• Elastic (width 0.5 cm): see table 
• Bias tape (folded width 2 cm): see table 
• Fabric: see table

Fabric recommendations:

For Milena with its twist detail, supple fabrics such as viscose crepe, lyocell or cupro work beautifully. They create an elegant drape and are wonderfully comfortable to wear. If you want the garment to hold its shape better, try poplin, chambray, fine corduroy or lightweight denim. Both plain and printed versions look fantastic in this design.
