DIY Maxi Chiffon Dress with Tiered Ruffle Skirt + Sewing Pattern

Hi everyone! An absolutely perfect elegant dress for summer, this dream of a design can be figure accentuating and charmingly flowy at the same time - and the classic crew neckline with comfy elastic-hemmed long sleeves make this Poppy dress one of my wardrobe favorites - and I know you'll love it too :)

I’m using my Poppy PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:

Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 3.5-4.2 m (3.85-4.6 yds) light-medium weight woven fabric
- 40-50 cm (16”-20”) elastic 5 mm (1/4”) wide
- loop turner tool
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Poppy pattern

I am using this beautiful poppy-print chiffon fabric for that light, perfectly-draping look. I recommend using something like a cotton, linen, and challis for easy handling of the fabric, or a gauze, chiffon or satin for a silkier look.
