This easy to wear, Vogue summer dress in a printed linen, has a contrasting print piping at the neckline and on the horizontal edges of the midriff. The close fitting bodice has princess seams, a squared- off under arm and a fitted midriff.  The skirt also has princess seams and is quite full at the hemline. I took great pains in matching the fabric design both horizontally and vertically.  So much so that the leftover fabric has been made into a sleeveless top! After cutting out my dress, I used a 2 thread overlock to finish my edges.
