Description

Aloha!

Retro dress with optional cap sleeves or you can do the halterneck style. Sits just below the knee with a gathered flared skirt. I used a invisible zipper instead of a lapped zipper so it had a smoother side. the bodice is fully lined too.

Material Notes

A cotton voille I bought from Tessuti in sydney a few years back.

    Thank you for posting this! Now I’m not afraid to try out this pattern. It’s so summery (here, in Northeastern US, it’s still winter :P).
