Voile, lawn and batiste cottons are all super light fabrics. They can float and have some drape, especially if they are soft. They are usually somewhat sheer, so may need a lining unless you are going for the "I see London, I see France" look. Here are a few of the patterns and ideas that I've ogled recently.
The first is a lovely Joel Dewberry design (remember him? I wrote about his fabric in one of my first blog posts). Check out the contrasting fabric in the skirt:
Nice, huh? And of course it looks wonderful with Joel Dewberry's fabrics (he now has a voile line as well).
This one is for sale at Etsy shop MyFairLabel (very cool shop - handmade, fair trade and organic fashion from Africa):
I love this simple design. The off-the-shoulder neckline can also be worn as a cowl neck.
And doesn't this Vogue pattern . . .
. . . . look almost exactly like these dresses at Garnet Hill?
Add a band at the waistline and you'll get this look!
I found this pattern in the Etsy shop ScientificSeamstress, and after I pinned it on Pinterest it was frantically repinned all over the place:
I love the neckline, straps, and waist detail. I bet this dress is super comfortable as well as super stylish.
And finally, how about something sweet for dessert from Colette Patterns?
It isn't my usual style, but there's something very fetching about it!
If you want more ideas, check out my board on Pinterest. I'll keep adding to it as I find more.
Happy Friday!
