When it comes to comfort, Fibre Mood has you covered!

The Alexa dress is a winter staple with long raglan sleeves and a standing collar. It's made for stretch fabrics of every kind; think ribbed, viscose, velvet or even a heavier knitted jacquard. Give Alexa a fresh sporty vibe with a contrasting ribbon feature down the sides or sleeves. Or sew it up in earthy hues to chase away the winter blues.

Mini or maxi length? The choice is yours...

Fabric advice

Alexa is intended for jersey only!

In practice, jersey (or stretch fabric) is what all fabrics that are knitted and not woven have come to be called. Essentially, that means that the jersey doesn't contain any separate warp and weft threads, just a single thread that hold together via loops like knitting. The loops create the fabric's elasticity. Jersey can be made from all kinds of fibres: cotton, viscose, wool, bamboo, etc.

We chose a ribbed jersey and a velvet jersey for the Alexa!
