This dress is a silk stretch. i made it before i got my serger so i had to work really hard to maintain the elasticity o the fabric, since stitched tend to break on stretch fabrics.
I never wear it with heels, usually flip flops but its a really soft breathable dress. Whats nice about the silk is that it doesnt make the print look shiny or weird. It could go tacky very quickly with blends.
I used no pattern btw. But becuase I liked the way this tuned out Im going to make one based off of tis with 5/8 seam allowances.
