Romantic Pleated White Dress Pattern to Make it Yourself

With its pleats, this pattern is very romantic ! And it's really flattering too as it completely hides your tummy and your hips! Do I hear you cheer? Yeah.

I don't want to officially call this an ideal plus-size dress pattern as it suits all body shapes but it sure helps boost the bust and hides waist and hips.

It’s a romantic and timeless dress. Keep the simplicity of Melly, or embellish it to your liking. I am sure this summer dress is going to be a favorite that you will want to hang on to.

Best fabric to choose for your summer dress

I love that look of linen cotton or hemp, giving that ‘easy summer’- feel. Wonderful. Makes me feel on vacation by just looking at it.

This summer dress was designed by Melly from Mama Says Sew. You can find the pattern here, at Mama Says Sew, where she guest blogged and shared her tutorial. Thank you, Melly.

The dress pattern is really easy as it is more of a beginners dress making tutorial rather than a pattern that you need to cut out. In the words of Melly: “It's a big rectangle than gets its shape from pleats and a little math.” Go check it out. You can do it!
