This vintage-inspired sundress owes its nostalgic look to the combination of floral cotton fabric with two different gingham-check fabrics. The center bodice panels on the front and back are gathered with elasticized shirring, making the dress easy to put on and take off. The skirt is gathered to the bodice with the usual gathering method. See the tutorial in the OTTOBRE LAB section of our website! The front of the dress is embellished with small gingham-check bows.

A wrap dress is a great piece for any wardrobe! This beautiful dress was created using the Verona pattern from our Spring-Summer 2/2023 issue (design 16). Originally sewn in lightweight silk satin, this lovely wrap dress can be made from various woven fabrics and is easy to modify. You could shorten or lengthen the sleeves and hem, or add some pretty details, such as the romantic frills we’ve included in this new version.
The material of this dress is an embroidered cotton voile which makes the dress light and summery. We shortened the sleeves and stitched two rows of elastized shirring to gather the width of the sleeves. We also added narrow frills along the hemline and neckline. To calculate the length required for each frill, measure the corresponding seams on the pattern pieces and multiply the measurement with 1.5. The visible width of the frills is 1.5-2 cm, and remember to add 1 cm seam allowances. Finish the outer edges of both frills and sleeves with a serger rolled hem or with narrow, short zigzag stitch. You can find beautiful embroidered cotton fabrics in our Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/ottobredesign
