Description

A summer dress based on Simplicity 2922 (Project Runway pattern). The dress was much slimmer around the hips than I anticipated, and I wound up having to chop two inches out of the waist and raise the bottom half to create more ease. Still…cute! The fabric is a tennis print with red gingham bias trim.

Material Notes

cotton

    I love this too! I like that piping detail and the kimono sleeve.
