When it comes to summer trend, the “maxi” one is a hit! In this article, we have selected the coolest sewing patterns for a maxi dress or skirt.
It is pretty and feminine, comfy with its loose fit, it lets the breeze going through your legs without to show them off, and thanks to its length, it is “underwear sight” proof. Cherry on the cacke, it is most of the time an easy sewing project!
Fabrics : maxi-dress can be sewn in a plain color, floral fabric, stripes, etc… it is just up to you, but the maxi length will magnify your fabric for sure! When it comes to the fabric type, go for drape and fluidity (tencel, viscose or double-gauze), but run away from straight fabrics!
