The Reynolds Dress
This workshop registration is for the Reynolds Dress: A breezy and minimalist tank dress with adjustable straps. This dress pairs well with linens or light cotton fabrics, perfect for a hot day. Throw this simple sundress on and you will instantly be in the mood for a relaxing garden stroll or a cold drink by the pool.
Reynolds features wide shoulder straps, bust darts, inseam pockets, and a side slit with mitered corners at the hem. This is a pull-on-overhead design with shaping in the side and back seams. The top of the garment is finished with a topstitched facing.
