Flared Dress

Flared Dress

The flare dress is a delightful dress with a fitted bodice (waist and bust darts) and a beautifully flared skirt with roomy inset pockets. The back neck has a ‘keyhole’ opening with a button closure. You can also choose to make a triangular cut out at the front. This style is suitable for a print. To emphasise the waist you can make a cute narrow belt. Perfect for every season choose from short, 3/4 or long length sleeves. For an airy summer dress choose a single jersey knit in cotton of viscose. In Autumn, try a french terry (a light sweat fabric).
