Easy Summer Dress

April 29, 2011 By crafterhours 8 Comments

I’m trying to remember, but I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve made a pillowcase dress.  It’s the perfect beginner project, but somehow I skipped over it.  Better late than never, I guess!
This one has an extra wide sash at the top and a fun ruffle at the bottom.
And I made a slit in the back so I can tie the sash at the shoulder or in the back.
My daughter loves to spread the skirt out to cover her legs :)
The best part about this simple little dress is the part you can’t see in pictures.  The fabric is incredibly light and thin – the next best thing to being naked on a hot summer day.  In fact, if it wasn’t for the huge bright flowers and the fact that she’s 4, I would’ve had to line it.  
That’s it for now.  Happy Weekend!

    I like the idea of the slit in the back to tie it in the back!

    I like what you’ve done with the back – my daughter always gets annoyed at dangly side bows.
