Curvy Colette: A Tale of Two Monetas

June 5, 2014 by Tanya

The Curvy Sewing Collective participated on our first blog tour with the new Colette Patterns’ knit dress — Moneta — and the knit skirt — Mabel.  I opted to make two Monetas (yes, someday I will make a Mabel!) and they quickly became staples in my me-made wardrobe.

My first Moneta is made of an aubergine viscose/lycra ponte knit from Britex Fabrics.  It is lined in the bodice with a black rayon jersey knit from Fabric.com.  This is version 1 in size 2x.

My second Moneta is made of a pink and white polka dot bamboo/spandex jersey knit from Harts Fabrics.  This is version 2 in a size 2x.

I never thought I would love a knit dress so much until this pattern!  I have more knit fabrics in my stash anxiously waiting to be made into more Monetas.  Definitely a staple dress that will be in high wardrobe rotation.

For more info/photos, please visit my blog.
