A week before it was scheduled to arrive, I received a shipment notification, and my dress arrived on Wednesday a day early

(its a pretty basic pattern) To get started you can download the pattern pieces here: Summer Breeze Dress Pattern You will also need: about 1/2 yard of fabric a little more if your print goes one way like mine, (I had to piece the back together) 1/4 yard for lining 2-3 buttons A onesie (optional I used it for this version) cut out the pieces should look like so

These are perfect to wear to work and style with a simple top like this ruffle turtleneck and neutral heels

Featuring playful smocked bell sleeves and a tiered skirt, this dress offers effortless movement and a flattering silhouette

The puff long sleeves add extra glam
