Thuy Phan shares an inspiring tutorial on how to sew a tiered linen maxi dress, guiding you through making an airy, chic outfit tailored to your exact measurements. If you love comfortable warm-weather styles, this flowy silhouette is effortlessly stylish for sunny days, brunch dates, or strolls by the beach.
The project walks you through drafting a clean, lined bodice that fits your torso smoothly without tricky closures. From there, you gather and attach tiered skirt panels to create beautiful drape and movement, with plenty of room to slip in deep side-seam pockets.
Using about 3 to 4 yards of breathable linen, cotton gauze, or lightweight rayon, the dress is both gentle on the skin and incredibly rewarding to sew. Cut out your favorite fabric and stitch up this gorgeous DIY tiered maxi dress for a versatile summer wardrobe staple!
