The Sunkissed Summer Dress is a delicate embrace of sunlit days and warm summer breezes, woven with love stitch by stitch. Its flowing silhouette and soft texture whisper a story of effortless beauty and gentle romance, perfect for moments that feel like a dream. Makers will fall for the soothing rhythm of the stitches, creating a dress that’s both a heartfelt labor of love and a timeless expression of feminine grace. This pattern invites you to craft a piece that dances lightly with every sunbeam and breeze.

Dress is worked from top down in separate panels to underarm. Shoulders are seamed and then the body is worked in turned rounds for a seamless look.
Yoke is a seven-row repeat and the body is an eight-round repeat. Braided belt is worked separately and added as a final touch.
