Dresses are so nice in the summer. Yes, I know that not everyone feels that way but on a hot summer day a dress can help you stay cool. The dress that I found is one of those dresses that does not touch anywhere but the hanger (i.e., shoulders). This dress reminds me a little of the Mexican weddings dresses that we wore in the mid-to-late 80s.
This is the Johnny Was Annalise Floral-Embroidery Gauze Dress. Price: $265.00. Details: Floral Embroidery, Henley neckline, cap sleeves, yoke back, side seam pockets, hem hits above the knee, side slit hem, shift silhouette, slipover style, cotton, machine wash. (Model is 5'10".)
Here is a closeup of the embroidery:
The embroidery is really what makes this dress. Obviously, machine-embroidery would make this a reasonably easy. However, it is certainly doable by hand.
Honestly, I do not know of a top/dress pattern that is a woven henley. This pattern might work:
This is the Indygo Junction Easy Top & Tunic pattern (IJ1154E). I think the silhouette of this pattern would work well for the replicating the dress. The neckline is a little wider but it would be easy to add the desired length to the tunic.
Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.
Happy Stitching!
