Tutorial: Lace midriff dress

I love this lace midriff dress! It bares just enough for sex appeal while keeping the rest covered to maintain your modesty. And in the summertime, who couldn’t use a little air conditioning in their dress? Jess from The Sewing Rabbit has the tutorial for how to make it. It’s actually a pretty simple dress to make. You can use any loose fit basic bodice pattern, or just trace around a t-shirt that fits you. Her tutorial is part of the 30 Days of Sundresses series hosted by Melly Sews.
