Customize Islington, white $149 100% Long Staple Cotton Our very popular signature twill in white

If your pattern has a V-neckline, or if you are working with a loosely woven fabric (such as linen or double gauze) then it's a good idea to staystitch the front and back neckline edges before sewing the shoulder seams so that the fabric keeps it shape and doesn't stretch out

But I just can't tell with this dress tbh

These should be as long as you want your skirt plus seam allowance on top and hem allowance on the bottom

On warmer days, pair a black short-sleeve maxi dress with strappy sandals and matching sunglasses
