Karen's Square Dance Designs

 Featuring: Summer Sounds

We don't dance much in the summer or in over-heated halls so I don't have a big collection of sleeveless or lightweight outfits.  

 

I used a pattern for a sailor type bodice for this dress, where the sleeves are part of the bodice. The white collar helps it look a bit nautical.  Simple circle top tier, single layer at the bottom, trimmed in tiny red lace to bring out the red dots in the centers of the flowers. 
I used a pattern from the bridal section of a pattern book to make a cape-like shawl for this sleeveless lightweight floral dress.  I put the zipper down the side seam so that the front and back could be designed without interruption and distraction from the cape.  I got lots of compliments on this one.
