I followed Maryy’s ‘heat dress’ tutorial, but I added straps that cross at the back. Great dress and very easy to make! (thanks for the how-to!) I might add lace or ribbon on the underside, I’m not sure yet.

Ahhh, so cute! This definitely is making me want to work on a version for myself. Good work and thanks for the inspiration.

Nice dress!!!! It looks great also when you put the jacket on, and I am sure that you can use the pattern for summer dresses, etc!!!!! Great work!

thanks! sure you can wear this in winter, with a jacket (see pictures). works for other summer dresses too (I do it all the time ;)).
the skirt part is a rectangle. It has a zipper (I added new pictures so you can see).

I like this dress very much. It looks like something that will never go out of style. The fabric is nice as it’s a bit unexpected for a summer dress. Also, that fabric makes the dress appropriate to wear in more places than a “cutesy” or loud print would.

A must have for the summer season. I am wondering…think I can turn this into a winter dress by making it in woll and big enough to put a blouse under? Love the straps!
