Mansfield Dress sewing pattern

Underdress main fabric: Light- to mid-weight woven fabrics such as satin, cotton, linen etc. If making a standalone underdress, other wovens such as brocade or jacquard can work well. Underdress lining fabric: Self-line in main fabric, or use a lighter weight woven fabric such as cotton lawn, rayon bemberg, or silk crepe de chine. If using a heavier main fabric for your underdress, you’ll definitely want to use a lighter weight lining. Overdress/skirt fabric: Sheer fabrics such as organza or tulle, including those embellished with embroidery, beads, or sequins.
