garment series: sauvie dress
The warm weather is here which means it's finally time to embrace our sundresses! Join Andrea this August to make your new favorite flowy dress - the Sauvie Sundress by Sew House Seven.
The Sauvie Sundress is the perfect strappy summer dress to reach for when you are wanting comfort, ease and style in those hot summer months. It's also perfect for layering over a t-shirt as a pinafore when the temperatures drop. Sauvie can be anything from a swim cover-up to a casual summer dress to an elegant evening gown depending on your fabric choice.
The low front and back V-necklines and narrow straps were designed to cover bra straps and optional bra keeper instructions are included to hide and secure your bra straps within the garment for that extra couture detail. With two pocket options, three hem finishes, two waist finishes and two hem lengths, you can mix and match any of the version's features.
In class, we'll be making Version #2 which is a loose waist, midi length dress with side vents.
