You can of course make the smartest jackets, trousers, skirts, pinafore dresses, shift dresses and classic office and boardroom attire, but consider bias-cut dresses with an Anglo-Viv Westwood style: the bias cut and drape will show off the checked design perfectly.
For other great styles to try, with simple clean-cut lines, look to Merchant and Mills for their Trapeze Dress and Factory Dress for comfortable yet smart workwear.
Sew Different's: Tulip Dress, Everyday Chic Dress and Tie Belt Dress are all great styles to make in this designer Italian suiting fabric.
