Nani Iro Washi Dress

Nani Iro Washi Dress

My parents bought me this beautiful Japanese double gauze fabric for my birthday. It’s Nani Iro Little Letter. The fabric is super soft, almost like a flannel but more breathable. I was excited to try sewing with it.  The pattern I used was the Washi Dress pattern from Made By Rae. The pattern went together so easily and quickly that I ended up making two of them in the same week. You can see my Star Wars Washi dress here.

Note, since I’m taller and didn’t want an underbust empire shape on my dress I added 1 1/2″ to the length of the bodice, lowered the bust dart by about an inch and added about 1 1/2″ to the hem of the dress.
