DIY tiered skirt with tie-up waistband
Following my Dayo Blouse testing, I had a left over skirt piece that I ditched when I realised a top would be nicer than the dress version.

Lois Dress – Tessuti
For my first post, I thought I’d share with you a recent make. This is a dress I’d seen in my early sewing days and simply adored: it’s the Lois dress by Tessuti!
