In this perpetual year of 2020 I open my closet in the morning to get dressed, say hello to all the pretty things hanging there, and grab a lounge set. I was missing sewing though, so this dress I figured was a middle meeting point between comfy home wear and something more put-together.
The dress is a combination of parts of previous makes, so this is more a collection of previous tutorials:
I started by drafting a simple V-neck top - you could use the measurements from this dress for a looser fit with a round neckline, this one for a square neckline, there's also the mini V option... The measurements in the image below got me a slightly closer fit than I normally do (I'm EU36/US4).
I finished the arm holes and the neckline using bias tape - see here for the arm holes & if doing a round neckline. There are a couple of ways to finish a bias bound V neck, here's one of them - I was running very low on matching bias tape so did a seam at the bottom of the V instead of a fold.
Tutorials take a lot of time & effort to create, and I choose to make mine available for free. If you enjoy this guide, you can support my work with a donation that feels right for you, here.
Then I had my ready top:
