I think I've already mentioned that I really love pencil dresses. For me they aren't just an office or special occasion type of garments. That's why I don't mind sewing them in lightweight natural fabrics. I also can't fully agree with the idea that pencil dresses should be made with synthetic blend fabrics for a better fit and look. This dress is sewn with pure linen, and I think that this material isn't any worse than synthetic ones.
