About this Pattern
The Heatwaves dress is the perfect cottage core dress! It has a form fitting bodice that goes down to the natural waist with a shirring panel at the back for extra comfort. Heatwaves also has a drawstring detail at the center front, a cute short puffy sleeve and 2 skirts options: a midi length with a slit and a mini tiered gathered skirt.
The Heatwaves dress is designed to work with light to medium weight woven fabrics like rayon and viscose (crepe, voile, poplin, twill, challis), cotton (lawn, voile, poplin, crinkle cotton, shirting), linen (washed linen, linen noil) and tencel twill. Fabrics like rayon will look more fluid and have more drape and fabrics like cotton will give more structure and volume.
Please also note that the fit of the dress will be affected by the *main fabric* choice because of the shirring panel at the back. Fabrics with more structure like cotton or linen will generally not gather as much when shirring. Make sure to adjust your machine so the center back (4) is appropriately gathered when sewing. Otherwise, it might make the bust fit too loose/big.
