Sew House Seven - Sauvie Sundress (00-20)

About the Sauvie Sundress

The Sauvie Sundress is the perfect strappy summer dress to reach for when you are wanting comfort, ease and style in those hot summer months. It's also perfect for layering over a t-shirt as a pinafore when the temperatures drop. Sauvie can be anything from a swim cover-up to a casual summer dress to an elegant evening gown depending on your fabric choice.

 

The Fabric    

Select light-weight woven fabrics such as linen, linen blends, cotton lawn, silk noil, silk crepe de chine, wool gabardine and just about any woven dress-weight fabric that isn't too thick or stiff. Note that stable fabrics such as cotton lawn may result in a tighter fit at the upper bust while fabrics with drape such as rayon challis may result in a looser fit.

The Notions         

Thread, light-weight fusible interfacing, versions #3 & #4 - 1 1/2"/40mm wide elastic.
