Not a new pattern, this is from issue 2/2013, but newly made. I'm just about to do the hems, so excuse the hanging threads!

It's a twist knot jersey dress made in a very soft viscose jersey. Much simpler than it first seems and very comfy to wear.

I find that I keep coming back to Ottobre patterns, even though they don't grab the attention at first.  I think it's because they are a little more understated that they are such good designs for every day.

Nice style DV.  I know there are various ways of doing twists.  i assume this isn't a one piece front that's turned over?  Don't see a lot of knits that are double sided, apart from interlock and I'm not a great fan of that. 
Every day wear is what most of us need I guess.  Nice to have something special and nice but tends to sit in my wardrobe!
