Happy Monday friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today I’m sharing with you my latest project! It’s one where the fabric basically picked the garment!

Tencel Scuba Faux Wrap Dress: simplicity 9175
I whipped up this Simplicity 9175 pattern about a month ago. Although its a simple dress, I really liked the faux wrap detail on the front. I made the dress using this Tencel Modal Scuba from Melanated Fabrics. This fabric is so soft and its a great stable knit fabric. Think Ponte but lighter and softer! I love it so much!
