I needed a project for my week of annual leave and had been eyeing up the Nikki Viscose on Sew Sew Sew’s website for some time.  I loved the deep blue colour and contrasting floral pattern.  The fabric was a good price and deliveries are always very quick so I ordered.  When the fabric arrived it was so soft and had a lovely drape.     When a new pattern is issued I often think it is not for me and it takes a while to grow on me.  So it was with the Sew Over It Florence Dress but...
