The Blazer dress is here to stay and I’m loving it! Not only has it been consistent as an ongoing trend, it has also continued to last throughout the seasons. Mood’s Fig Dress free sewing pattern will absolutely prove itself worthy of becoming a wardrobe staple. Made with Mood Fabrics organic cotton twill, the sleek tailored fit feels just as good as it looks! What I love the most about this dress has to be the faux welt pockets and self-covered belt buckle made in a contrasting pop color. These are the details that make any outfit a pleasure to style. Try making your blazer dress in a Cotton Sateen or African Print Fabric as another option. Let us know how you plan to wear your Fig dress!

Do you think it would be possible to expand the skirt into an a-line?
Yes you can absolutely alter it to make an A-line silhouette. If you’d like to do so, you’ll have to expand the side seams of the skirt, just like you suggested. Find the widest point of the hip and trace a diagonal line outward using a ruler to keep it straight. You’ll want to do this to both the front and back side seams, then just assemble as usual.
