The main feature of summer clothes is lightness. A flying dress made of stole will add tenderness and charm of a mermaid or a fairy to your look. All you need for a dress: a wide shawl made of light fabric, fantasy and some free time.
Shawl dress without a single seam
Choose the length and width of the scarf based on your wishes for the length and width of the dress. The colors can be any at your discretion.
The easiest option for a beach dress: tie the body with a scarf or pareo slightly above the chest, and throw the ends over the neck or shoulder and tie.
Pattern for tying a dress from an Americano shawl: take one corner of the shawl and tie it around the front of the neck like a tie. Stretch the fabric in front, wrap it around the body and secure with a strap.
Shawl dress with side seams and buttons
For a dress of a more complex texture, you will need a large scarf, a belt and 2 buttons.
Measure the length from the shoulder bone to the top of the chest with a meter. Write down the result. Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and cut. Fold up the cut edges by 5-10 mm and sew on a typewriter. Iron it.
Place the first piece of fabric on the table. Measure vertically on the left and right and mark with chalk or a dry bar of soap the length of the shoulder girth that you measured earlier.
Do the same with the second piece of fabric. Connect the fabrics and pin from the marked mark. Sew the fastened parts with a thin seam.
Make buttonholes on the upper corners of the back of the dress, and sew buttons on the front corners. Fasten the buttons with the eyelets. Put on the dress and tie it with a belt. You can not sew on buttons and loops, but simply tie the corners.
