Mini dress, elegant, an all-in-one facing, pockets, simple, long or short sleeves

Fabric:

Light- to mid weight woven fabrics are best suited for this pattern. It is very tempting to make this pattern in a heavy weight fabric, I know, but look at the width of the straps and remember that this is an all-in-one facing (meaning that you will have to pull one side of your dress through that strap loop). So, please do not go too heavy weight. I would say that the denim I used for my denim sample (350g/m2 or 12oz) is the heaviest possible fabric. If you work with heavier weight fabric, you might choose to to finish the neckline and armholes using bias binding instead of the all-in-one-facing.
