Summer is HERE! It's HOT & HUMID! It's time to sew some summer dresses.
Shopping at Fabric Mart last week and look what beautiful fabric the UPS man brought me......
I used my TNT tank dress pattern, added short sleeves and finished off the neck with a band. I did not finish the bottom hem of the dress, you can not tell since it's cut on the blue stripe. Easy enough!

I used a neckband to finish off the neck edge. It makes it a little more sporty looking.

I also cut the front bodice piece twice. Making one only waist length. You really can't see the top layer but fabric was a little thin and it gives a little coverage. I didn't finish the hem edge of the outer piece. (Would be a great idea for a nursing top too).

Another summer dress for a great price.

I added short short sleeves to the tank dress. I am ready to wear this dress!

ReplyDeleteI scored a bunch of this fabric and am happy to see it on a body. The scale is perfect and the color is vibrant.
So cute.
Thank you! Their sales get me motivated!
DeletePretty! And good idea to double the front.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I had a little bit of fabric left and the dress didn't need a ruffle so I tried to be creative......
