DIY Tie Back Dress
Dress: DIY
It’s well into summer and any appropriate outfit must include either of the following; sleeveless, open back, or strapless. This cotton floral print fabric is reminiscent of a spring garden. The creative juices were flowing when I began making my pattern edits. I went to my pattern archive (more like a vault) and found this OOP pattern (Butterick 3447), and went for option C.
Edits:
Ommited back zipper, replaced with elastic back waist
Lenghten dress to desired length
Added 8" to width for front and back, pleated the excess
Added a second piece to sleeve, pleats, elastic at wrist
Created square neck
Lined front bodice (due to sheerness of fabric)
Lengthen back ties
Cut front dress to create an empire waist
