Solig Dress

The Solig Dress is a simple dress with a sleek silhouette, suitable for beginners as well as advanced sewists. View A features an elastic back and feels more secure around the bust than View B which has a slightly scooped gathered back with ties. Both views have a gently curved front neckline with side seam bust darts and thin straps. You can choose to make a maxi length version with or without side seam slits, or a mini version. The neckline is finished with a facing that covers your entire bust. The instructions will walk you through installing elastic in the facing hem to make it into a low support built-in-bralette, if you so choose.

This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:
– French seams
– Elastic channel
– French seam slits
– Turning thin straps

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
This pattern is made for woven fabrics and the look of it will change a lot depending on the fabric you choose. A crepe will make it date night ready, whereas a linen or cotton will make it the perfect everyday summer dress. Other favorites include seersucker for ultimate coolness, cotton poplin for a crisp and billowy silhouette, or any rayon/tencel for a beautiful drape. If choosing a thicker fabric, like linen, you may want to use a matching, lighter weight fabric for the facing/bralette.
