Meet Polly.
She's a style of dress I never thought I'd make or wear.
Yet here we are. And I rather like her.

Sometimes we need to rebel.
Sometimes a fabric will just scream to be made into something quite unsuitable for its spongey, luxuriously heavy jacquardness.
This amazing double jacquard just wouldn't be put in its place. It believed it was born to be a renegade. Or something. The idea just kinda popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone. It kept whispering furiously in my ear...
And I was quite helpless to resist.
I could see in my mind's eye what it was telling me. I envisaged a swingy, perhaps slightly Japanese pattern-like trans-seasonal jacket.

Make me into a Tessuti Tokyo jacket. Really. You know you want to.
