Beach, barbecue, backyard, a night out...it's your choice with this pattern in two different lengths. The optional belt gives this dress a little more definition, if you so desire.

Fabrics: Laundered cottons, silks and silk types, gauze, chiffon. View B in soft lightweight linen and linen blends.

No zippers or buttons to worry about with this new pattern designed by previous chat guest and past Project Runway contestant Suede! This cute number has flounce where you might want it...at the ankles and at the hips! And don't forget the trendy purse with the cross-body strap.

And with all the choices for fabric, you'll have trouble deciding which one to use first!

We like this pattern 'cause it's a little bit retro! This hip-flattering dress has variations in sleeves and necklines. The mock half-peplum adornment adds some interest to the dress if you make it in a quieter fabric. It's the perfect dress for office or evening, depending on the fabric you select!

Fabrics: Cotton and cotton blends, laundered cottons, damask, pique, sateen, wool crepe, silk and silk types, charmeuse, crepe back satin, crepe de chine, jacquards, brocade, shantung, taffeta, soft lightweight linen and linen blends.
