Cotton diaper weave dress with an exotic floral print in various shades of green. I jazzed up the neckline with a ruche of leaf-shaped pieces of crinkle silk chiffon. I’ll upload instructions for that soon!
This is a replacement for the lost-in-the-mails Gugulethu Dress, so it’s the same princess-seamed, three-piece A-line-skirt dress pattern.
I didn’t really do any special couture details on this one. This fabric said “easy summer sundress”
cotton, crinkle silk chiffon, invisible zipper
