Summer Dress

Summer dress, simple to construct and easy to wear, sundresses in a variety of fabrics can make any girl or woman feel ladylike and simply elegant during summertime. Learning how to make your own sundresses does not take much effort or time, and the pattern can be altered for whatever occasion might occur. Different necklines and lengths add a different character to the dress and different fabrics can dress up or down the dress of your choice.
Casual summer dresses allow you to look effortlessly stylish whilst you soak up the sun rays or are popping out to do some shopping. Many people like to wear white in summer but go with what you suit and the colours you like! Flat shoes like flip flops or sandals keep the style looking light and casual.
You can even take the casual look into evening by adding glam accessories and changing your footwear to sparkly flats or heels.
The strappy summer dress styles can act as a kaftan to cover up your swimwear. Maxi dresses are still big this year and the floaty styles are excellent for a breezy trendy look.
The Classic Sundress
A classic sundress can be made from any type of light- to medium-weight cotton. Cotton breathes and absorbs moisture, it is ideal for hot summer days. A sundress requires few measurements, so long as it fits at the bust, and skims over the hips with ease and ends somewhere between the knee and mid-calf. Straps can be omitted, but because of the nature of cotton to stretch out of shape with wear, they are recommended. An example pattern of an easy classic sundress is pictured.

Do you need a dress for a summer wedding? Summer dresses can even look formal. Remember you don't want to sit through the ceremony and reception looking like you've been working out so make sure you choose light materials. Light weight fabric dresses are the best material to go for, stretch jersey styles make you warmer and can make a woman with the tiniest frame look unflattering and bigger than she is.
Dresses are very versatile, feminine and easy to wear. They save having to find something for the top and bottom half which can sometimes be a nightmare to try and mix and match.
