I really like to wear this dress because of its simple design with some decorative details and bright lemon print to make it stand out from other dresses in my closet

I’ve used natural woven cotton fabric for the dress. Just look at this cute, attention-grabbing lemon print! Fabric with watermelons or pineapple patterns will also work well for a fun summer dress.

The breathable cotton fabric feels nice against my skin as well. The dress is very comfortable, not too tight or loose and adds some color and style for my summer look.

I used my serger for sewing the summer dress: the 4 thread 2 needle stitch is perfect because you can sew and finish the seams at once.

The decorative facing for the summer dress is made of fancy silk chiffon fabric. It adds an elegant finish to what would be just another basic dress, right?
