(Faux) Wrap Dress.

On Craftster, check out this faux wrap dress tutorial (I call it "faux" because it's actually all one attached piece that you can't open up). Cuuute. Good for work, for summer, and transitioning into fall by adding tights and boots (I love my boots).

Supplies:

  • a couple yards fabric for the dress
  • some coordinating fabric for waistband, neckband, and sleevebands
  • thread

The Infinity Dress.



This is likely the coolest tutorial you will ever see. Rowena at Rostitchery wrote up a great tutorial for the Infinity Dress. The best part about it? It takes only one seam to put together! Okay, maybe that's not the best part. The best part about it? It's convertible and you can wear it about 28,746 different ways.


You can check out this website for bigger versions of the above variations (click the link and then click on "Signature Jersey").


Finally, Rachelily made this post on Craftster showing her long, white version. Hamira poster her long red and blue versions on Craftster as well, right here. This dress would definitely be beautiful for prom, bridesmaid dresses, or even a wedding dress.

Supplies:

  • stretchy fabric (jersey, polyester knit, etc) - the amount you need will depend on how long you want your dress to be
  • thread

Girly Dress.




JCasa Handmade also has an amazingly cute tutorial for a girly dress on her site (just click on the link and download the .pdf file). The tutorial is amazingly thorough and has 20 full color images to help you create your own girly dress. The pattern is created for an infant, but you could enlarge it in order to fit a toddler or child.

Supplies:

  • 1/2 yd. bodice (main top) fabric
  • custom pattern pieces (made by you—great job!)
  • 1/2 yd. facing (top lining) fabric
  • 1 yd. decorative trim such as eyelet, rickrack, piping
  • 1/2 yd. skirt (bottom) fabric
  • 2 buttons (or snaps)
