I made this dress with a light 100% rayon - I dyed it using clothes pins and a cold water Procion red dye - it was super simple (as you can see from the process pic) but I love the result! I have been living in big, airy dresses this summer to survive the heat so I just rough cut the pattern from a couple dresses I already own. It's hard to tell but the bottom is gathered where it meets the top - I also left the back open with bias tape finished edges and while debating over which button closure I liked best I realized I actually loved the drape it made when I just tied the two corners together, it might be cheating but I do like the shape it gives the back!
