This beautiful free sundress sewing pattern from Life Sew Savory is perfect for warm weather. It’s a lightweight, airy tank dress that features a lovely gathered tiered skirt with a very full, flowy silhouette. It is an amazing DIY summer sewing project designed for confident beginners who want to tackle simple button loops or buttonholes and gathering techniques.
The pattern includes sizes ranging from XS to 3XL, making it highly customizable. Because the tiered skirt is so full, it does require quite a bit of fabric. If you are using standard 44-inch wide fabric, you will need about 4.5 yards, while 60-inch wide fabric will require anywhere from 4 to 5 yards depending on the size you are making. It is a fantastic choice for a casual day dress or a breezy beach cover-up that you will want to wear all summer long.
