I’ve finally finished the Cashmerette Grafton dress for my summer capsule wardrobe, and I am absolutely convinced this is going to be a "worn on repeat" staple for the next few months! One of the best things about the Grafton pattern is that it’s a true workhorse; because the bodices, skirts, and necklines are all interchangeable, you can create hundreds of different combinations from a single pattern pack.
In today’s video, I’m walking you through my entire decision-making process. I’ll share why I chose this specific bodice and skirt combination and how those choices align with my goals for a comfortable, versatile summer wardrobe. Whether you're looking for fit tips or inspiration for your own mix-and-match projects, I hope this look at my latest "TNT" (Tried and True) favorite helps you plan your next summer sew!
