From Trend Patterns:
The Drawstring Dress has been designed by taking inspiration from the catwalks trends seen in New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks. Drawstrings were all over the catwalks and became a trend all on their own along with a trend for rushed panels.
This pattern is best made with a lightweight cotton fabric for a great summer dress with a difference. Use abstract print to create an interesting look.
Difficulty - Moderate.
Be sure to pin everything in place so the channels and curved bias edges are accurately positioned.
