Sauvie Sundress: Pattern by Sew House Seven
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.
Two size range options: standard sizes 00-20, or curvy sizes 16-34
Sewing Level: Confident Beginner
Please note that this purchase is for a paper home sewing pattern (not the actual garment).
You will need:
Fabrics: 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.
Sundries: Thread, light-weight fusible interfacing, versions #3 & #4 - 1 1/2"/40mm wide elastic. Optional bra keeper chain and snap requires two small snap sets approximately 8mm or size 2/0 and a hand sewing needle.
