I have been looking for a specific style summer dress that is very simple and comfortable to wear but to no success so I decided to make my own. Luckily Walmart is selling 2-yard bundles of precut fabric for $4.00 per bundle. Some of these bundles were made out of stretchy cotton shirting fabric so they are perfect for the summer dress that I have been looking for.
I wanted a specific style so that the neckline and armholes matches my sports bra which I prefer wearing to regular bras. The bra strap will not show when I wear the summer dress. Below is the photo of how I laid the pattern over a striped fabric so that it creates a “V” effect on the front and back center of the dress.
As you can see in the photo that I only used the torso of the front and back pattern. I used my yardstick to shape and determine the length of skirt.
This summer dress is also comfortable to use as a sleepwear.
Comfortable to wear on vacation and during a long ride in a car.
