From Silversaga:
My best-selling dress from the S/S20 slow fashion collection is now available as a designer sewing pattern. Admired for its effortless style and comfortable fit, the Mina dress is a versatile wardrobe staple with a vintage-inspired, modern wrap design. Perfect for everyday wear or dressed up for special occasions, the Mina dress effortlessly balances elegance and practicality.
Featuring a close-fitting neckline that sewists have praised for its impeccable fit - no gaping issues here. Mina’s design includes gathered bishop sleeves, a soft dropped shoulder, and bias binding finishing on both the neckline and sleeve cuffs. The flattering bodice pleats and adjustable wrap tie front, which can be styled in various ways, ensure a perfect fit that’s as comfortable as it is beautiful. With a flared skirt and hidden side seam pockets, the Mina dress is both functional and feminine.
Sewists have particularly loved the ease of movement and the comfortable feel of the non-restrictive sleeve cuffs. Whether made in cotton or linen for casual, everyday looks or in viscose or silk for a more glamorous occasion, Mina’s versatility and timeless appeal will make it a favorite in your wardrobe.Sewing difficulty: This pattern is beginner-friendly. You should feel comfortable making your own bias binding for the neckline and cuffs, and handling fabric cut on the bias. The pockets are optional.
Recommended Fabrics: Choose a woven draped quality such as rayon, viscose, tencel, silk or wool. A stiffer woven fabric with more volume such as cotton, cotton voile and linen works great as well. Originally featured in my S/S 2020 slow fashion collection, the Mina wrap dress became a best-seller, crafted from 100% viscose (140 gsm).
