I’m obsessed with classy wool dresses. I tend to avoid wrap designs though, because they create an unflattering gap that’s impossible to avoid by adjusting the pattern. My research showed that there’s one pattern that doesn’t have this problem and it’s a vintage one as well.

Each winter I just can’t resist the temptation of adding a new wool dress to my wardrobe. And what can be more traditional and cosy than a nice tartan? That’s exactly what I thought when I picked this wool fabric.

There are certain prints that I simply have to have in my wardrobe. And if my favourite winter outfits are more about checks, summer ones are all about floral and fruit prints. A lemon dress was on my wish list for a while, but I couldn’t find the appropriate fabric for years.
