The Sicily Slip Dress by Sewing Masin was definitely the 'It Girl' sewing pattern of the summer, so I decided to take the plunge and sew one up for autumn!

The Armani Stretch Satin Fabric has got a subtle lustre and feel smooth to the touch. Like most satins, it is fairly lightweight, but it drapes so beautifully. The pink base colour is pretty and the delicate poppy print isn't directional, so works well for garments that need to be cut on the bias. As the dress is cut on the bias, you need to make sure your fabric is wide enough!

This was fairly quick make for me, but you should take your time with pinning and cutting -- satin is notorious for being slippery! I ended up shortening my dress to above the knee, but the original view is a midi-length.
It is also important to let your garment hang for 24 hours and then make sure you cut the raw hem to be even.

Thanks for reading and happy sewing until next time!
