This pattern https://www.textillia.com/patterns/jade-dress calls for med weight knit fabrics (no more than 30% stretch).
I know that at least 1 TSP'er has made this. 
Could it be made up in a woven fabric e.g., polyester?

I think you would need a back zip and would probably need to widen the sleeves a bit. Haven't made one though.

@Greybird   thanks for the point about sleeves.  I have some black jersey with pink flower print which illmuse for the top yoke and sleeves and make the skirt in a solid  pink linen/poly blend.

Thanks for that @annieeg , looks like one which I might like...

As GB said, I think a zip may be called for, and I would definitely check measurements, or make a toile before using a woven.

You might need to add some width at the waist seam area if the skirt is done in a woven.
