Tilly Francoise Dress

February 2015: I knew I wanted to make Tilly's latest design when it was released late 2014 - it's a shift dress with raglan sleeves and a pronounced A-line - super versatile and great shaping. This gorgeous fabric is quite heavy - almost a brocade - and I just love the dress. I wear it to work at the moment with opaque tights and often a black long-sleeve merino tee underneath, but I reckon in summer it'll be a winner too. I do need the belt for a bit of waist-line definition, but that's a personal 'look' preference. This is easily one of my most-complimented and most-loved sews!
