Moonflower Viscose Challis from Rainbow Fabrics
Using the credit voucher that I received from Rainbow Fabrics I purchased 7 metres of this beautiful Viscose Challis that I have named ‘Moonflower’. After laundering the fabric I asked my sister if she would like a dress in this fabric and she jumped at the chance! But first I wanted to make yet another Moira for myself using this slightly heavier weight viscose.
The usual construction method was followed including a full lining in Ivory viscose voile. The challis fabric is a dream to sew with other than the fact that it does tend to fray. I finished all the seams with either a French seam or the overlocker. The dress has the usual side seam pockets and deep hem frill.
Moira dress in ‘Moonflower’ Viscose Challis from Rainbow Fabrics
The beautiful colours of the print are matched with at least two of my cropped cardigans – the Pale Blue and the Tan.
This dress has turned out well and will be making regular appearances despite the fact that currently I am not going out!
