It's time for another fabric suggestion blog, and for this one I'll be offering ideas for both the 266 Greek Island Dress and the 265 Afternoon Tea Dress. Both of this month's featured patterns are similar in concept and drape, with a sheath dress underneath and a tunic or jacket over the top. You could use the fabrics I've chosen for either pattern, though some might be better suited to the dress or the accompanying outer layer, which I've noted below. And, if you want tips for working with slippery or sheer fabrics, we have some great tips for working with bias and slippery fabrics here and sheers and laces here. Great tricks and tips for working with any of these fabrics!

I recently bought the Afternoon Tea Dress pattern and I’m still working out what fabrics to try first. After seeing your suggestion of linen I think a more casual day-time fabric will be the way to go. I can try the more slinky evening fabrics later.
