I have made a lot of the patterns from Peppermint Magazine and this Everyday Dress from In The Folds is a great wardrobe staple. It is simple sew and comes together easily, great for beginners! I sewed the size recommended by my measurements but did end up sewing in an inch on each side seam for a bit more definition.
This is perfect on it’s own for Spring and Autumn and works well layered up in Winter.
