Cut Out + Keep

Maxi Dress

Light summery maxi-dress with pockets =)

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/maxi-dress • Posted by R@ch@31 G.

I took a Maxi that I already owned and used it as a template for the dress I made. I added pockets, because I MUST have pockets. I also wanted something I didn't have to wear a strapless bra with, so I changed the bust from the original strapless dress. What I really like about these dresses is that they can be dressed up with heels and good accessories for a night on the town or dressed down with sandals and a pair of sunglasses for a day at the beach. Their length also allows for bicycle riding (I have worn my grey one while riding to the store many times (= easy peasy). I also have it as a How-To if you would like to know how I figured it out (=. The bust I stole from a shirt I already owned that I love. It's basic but was so much fun to do!
