Nothing like a pretty knit skater dress to spend a great summer! Comfortable, feminine and carefree, Zéphyr will adapt to any situation thanks to its many different variations.
Zéphyr is a semi-structured dress, designed to be made in mid-weight stable knits. Ponte, cotton-spandex, light scuba or thick rayon knits will be perfect to give this dress some body while remaining comfortable 🙂 . Make sure you pick a knit with at least 30% stretch to get satisfying results! We will write a detailed post on how to pick the right fabric for Zéphyr next week.
Zéphyr is pretty easy to sew so it gets a 2 out of 5 for difficulty. The only tricky point is sewing the neckline band of the V-neck of version B: this step requires precision and you might need a few tries before achieving perfect mastery! Apart from this detail, Zéphyr is a very gratifying pattern: quick to trace and quick to sew for maximal satisfaction 😉

oh hes. I have some Liberty jersey in cotton and lycra which I think will be perfect. Thanks for mailing so quickly, I know it will be here in a couple of days:)

Yes! It is perfect for the ballet pink solid and flowered scuba fabric that I got at Spandex House. Mine is kinda thick though. Flowers on the top and solid for the skirt.
