Volume dresses are the name of the game these past few years. They flatter all sorts of body types and are the easy, comfy style choice when the weather starts to steam up. For this Quick Stuff to Sew, Vol. 1 project, you’ll learn how to build a versatile sundress-inspired by sack dresses of yore-by starting with just a tube of fabric. A few well-placed pleats, tucks, and wide straps later, you’ll be front-row ready.
