Striped Dress Tutorial

"A super simple striped dress tutorial based on a shirt. Perfect for sewing beginners. Choose your favorite striped fabric to make the dress, ideal would be to use semi weight cotton fabric. To define the waist, make a band, use a belt or add elastic waist. The dress looks much better with elastic waist. Add pockets if you want or other details. Wear the dress on a date, a day or a night out with friends."
