Birds have been a pretty popular motif for a while now and when done in a delicate, modern print like this, how could you possibly say no? I'm gearing up to share my own DIY monochrome bird print dress later this week (see my plans for the dress here). I'm so excited for you to see it. Meanwhile, here's how you can take a RTW dress as inspiration and make it your own.
When thinking about the essential pieces of a summer wardrobe, a swingy, bare dress made with cool linen is a no-brain. I live in dresses all summer long. They are effortless to throw on and keep my feeling cool. Today's inspiration dress looks like a basic tank dress from the front but turn it around and there is a super cool cross back design and exposed zipper. Read on to see how I would make it.
A swingy, lightweight, sleeveless top is perfect for summer. The loose fit is super comfortable and allows air to flow through, keeping one extra cool. Yesterday, I shared a moodboard of some of my favorite tops and today I'm sharing a little sewing inspiration so you can make your own summer top.
