Tessuti Mandy boat tee – as dress!

I really cannot quite believe that I took so long to do this.  The Tessuti Mandy boat tee, lengthened to a dress!  I was feeling rather desperate for some comfy winter dresses, and had just enough fabric left over from my Loren jacket to cut out the body of the dress.

It’s the updated version of the free Mandy boat tee pattern. I can’t remember what size I used (I sewed this at the beginning of winter) but have a feeling that I did do a forward shoulder adjustment. The sleeves are in a navy/coral striped viscose knit that has been marinating in stash for a little while. I made a separate infinity scarf/cowl for a little added warmth – and because I love an accessory!

I probably lengthened it a fraction too much for ‘flattery’ purposes, but it’s definitely a great length for snuggly purposes. I’ll definitely be sewing more Mandy dresses in the future!
