From Sewing Therapy:
The Tie Dress epitomizes versatility and style by cleverly blending the ubiquitous appeal of customizable ties with the graceful silhouette of a classic dress. Featuring ties at the waist, this garment offers multiple closure options. Moreover, the reversible neckline adds another dimension of adaptability, offering the choice between a subtle boat neck or a flattering v-neck, catering to a multitude of preferences and occasions. Embodying a blend of charm and sophistication, this dress exudes cuteness, romance, and elegance. With short sleeves, it radiates a playful charm, while elbow-length sleeves evoke a sense of romance.
With the addition of lining, sewing this dress becomes an accessible project, even for beginners.
