Clash Those Checks!
I wanted to share one of my recent favourite makes with you - a super fun summer dress involving pattern clashing two different check fabrics!
I am really into checks at the moment and especially the idea of incorporating more than one into a garment. The two madras checks I used are from a collection of four that we currently stock. They are all different but use a similar range of colours which makes them perfect for coordinated clashing.
The pattern I used is the Simplicity S9134 in view C though I modified the neckline to make it a rounded square neck (scoop?) which I did by drafting and sewing a facing instead of using bias binding as per the pattern.
Here are the fabrics I used:
And the other two checks in the collection:

Here are some other checks that you could use for clashing:
