Have you been thinking about creating a beach dress that actually fits your body by sewing one yourself?!?! ME TOO! Lol… recently I was trying on clothes and I HATED EVERYTHING! There was always something I didn’t like about each dress I tried on. Didn’t like the colour, the pattern, how short it was, too long, not enough boob space, to skanky, not enough skin… lol. Wouldn’t it be nice if a dress was made just for your exact body type?!?! Well I thought so. So, here I am, searching the internet for an easy women’s beach dress sewing patterns, and I thought why not share some of my top beautiful free sewing patterns with you!!

Here is a round-up of the beach dress sewing patterns I love, and that I’m thinking about recreating. I’d love to hear which one is your fav, or which one you would attempt to recreate?!?! wink!
