How to create a beautiful bohemian dress for the summer!
I created this dress because I adore a maternity shirt that my mom wore in the '70s that I nowadays wear as a dress. It has short bell sleeves and there's something I just love about the look of that style of sleeves. I bought a lace curtain (because I will never not love lace) from a thrift store and created this beauty from scratch. If you plan to embark on this project, I recommend past experience sewing lace and knowing how to sew a french seam/use a serger.

Step 1
Follow the directions on the image.
Step 2
Follow the directions on the image.
Step 3
Follow the directions on the image.
I recommend looking at an external tutorial to learn how to attach sleeves if you don't know how to already.
Step 4
Follow the directions on the image.
My sleeve ends and bottom were the edges of the lace which won't fray so I only had to hem the neckline.
Step 5
Start out with lace curtains/fabric/tablecloth/
Step 6
And this is what the finished product should look like! I wear a tan nightgown under it and usually a belt over it.
