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.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!
, but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

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