About This Design

The Honeycomb Summer Dress is built around a classic grid mesh stitch in the bodice that transitions beautifully into decorative circular motifs across the skirt. Wide square-neck straps frame the neckline with elegance, while a scalloped hem gives the entire silhouette a refined, finished look.

The warm golden yellow shade photographed here is just one possibility. This construction works just as well in ivory, sage, rust, or any solid cotton you love. The open lacework of the pattern means it breathes beautifully in warm weather, making it a natural choice for spring and summer wardrobes.

The A-line skirt is worked in expanding tiers so the flare is even and predictable. Each section of the dress is written as a separate, clearly labeled part of the pattern, so you always know exactly where you are in the construction.

It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift. A finished dress in a recipient’s favourite colour, paired with a note about the construction, is something genuinely memorable.
