Fabulous! What a great idea to refashion a beach towel into a beach cover-up! Did you create your own pattern? Better still will you be adding this to your how to's for all of us to try? Enjoy your holiday, in style!

that's a very good idea! maybe you should try taking it further! love the fitting too!! all the best x

That's so cool! The pattern is awesome, and awesommely positioned on the dress.

So cool. I like the colours and print you used.

Beautiful! I just got some towel like stretch fabric for a beach dress I have in mind, and I'd love to hear what pattern you used?

I'm moving on the beach next at the month and I'd better get ready, plus there were more colors of the same stuff I'd like to get.

I love it! What a fun piece. I'd really like to see a how-to also...

Adorable! Much better than anything you could buy in a store. It reminds me of garments from the Finnish design company Marimekko, both in cut and pattern. I would never have had the guts to cut up that pretty towel- go you- it definitely paid off!

Mirela - I didn't use any pattern at all. The body part I just cut out, and the hood I traced off an old, close-fitting hoodie I like. I used a bit of the towel's selvedge to act as a stop at the deep V neck. And Elainemay - I love Merimekko! I only wish I could afford their fabric, even in the sales it's too expensive!
