Learn to Sew The Cute
Summer Sun Dress

This gorgeous, trendy dress was
featured in our "Every Style Has a Common Thread" advertisement to
represent a Valley Girl look. It was inspired by characters like Elle
Woods from Legally
Blonde and
Cher from Clueless.
The dress calls for a technique known as smocking, which uses an
elastic bobbin to create a ruffled, comfortable, and form-fitting
bodice. The entire dress can be made with only the instructions below
with no patterns,
and in addition to smocking, you will learn and hone techniques such
as gathering and seam finishing. Top off this dress with a floppy hat
and sun glasses for summer fun. Please read ALL the directions first
before beginning your sundress.
Modeling the look are our
two students, Nicole and Sophia. |
