The summer has been about sewing lightweight cotton dresses for me. But here I have made an exception: let me introduce you to my luxurious silk Lune dress<\/strong>\u2026 Well, actually my daughter\u2019s, as this dress suits her colouring much better than mine!<\/p>\n\n\n

Three very different versions due to different fabric used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is my third time sewing the Lune dress by French Poetry<\/a><\/strong>. Each version is based on exactly the same pattern pieces, with the tiny exception of the shoulders ties I added for this last one. However the three dresses look extremely different<\/strong>, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The style you give to this dress all comes down to the fabric you use in my view<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first version is in cotton chambray<\/strong>. Although there is some drape in this fabric, it stiffness makes it look actually quite formal; very much occasion-wear if it were for the colour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second version is a floral Liberty-like cotton lawn<\/strong>, very lightweight. It does not drape as much and the style is more country-chic \/ afternoon tea. Probably my least preferred at all but the most comfortable in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this last version is in the most gorgeous silk crepe from the New Craft House<\/a><\/strong>. This is the absolute perfect match with this dress, with just enough weight and drape to make it stunning, especially in movement.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lune dress pattern review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first two versions of this pattern were sewn as part of my \u201dResort Collection\u201d this winter. And I briefly reviewed the pattern in this article<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to summarise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
