Jessica Dress Sewing Workshop

The Jessica Dress is a relaxed, easy-to-wear smock dress, perfect for both those sunny days styled with sandals or for the winter months when worn with tights.  She has a simple V neck shape with button front and short sleeves making it perfect for layering over a T-shirt.
