The last time that I sewed the Tessuti Yuki dress, it was for summer, in a summer fabric.  This time around I sewed it in wool crepe.

It seems that there is a little more black creeping in to my wardrobe. My greying hair makes the black work a little bit better than it used to, but I still don’t like it too close to my face. Although the wool crepe would have worked well in the collar/cowl, I rifled through my stash and found some linen that is cross dyed, with brown threads in one direction and black in the other. This worked nicely with the main fabric, providing some colour without too much contrast.

From the pattern page: The Yuki Dress is a loose fitting, knee length, pull-over tunic dress that features extended shoulders, tapered hemline, side pockets and a funnel style collar with drawstring tie. The contrast collar drapes around the neck like a soft cowl. Worn on its own or layered over a fitted top, it’s a fabulous trans-seasonal wardrobe piece. Sizes (AUS): XXS-XL Recommended fabrics: Dress – drapey fabrics with great body such as wool crepe, rayon/tri-acetate crepe, viscose, acetate, heavy silk satin and linen. Contrast collar and tie – viscose georgette, silk crepe de chine and double georgette

This is a great pattern for me – the sack rules! I sewed exactly the same size as my summer version.  It layered nicely over thick winter leggings, boots and an Aldi merino long-sleeved tee.
