So, exactly what kind of dress qualifies as a sundress? It's usually a sleeveless dress design, that often has straps that go over the shoulders to hold up the bodice of the dress. A sundress is often a loose fitting, flowy dress style, which makes it an ideal dress for summer and warmer weather. It can have a round, v-neck, or square neckline, and can be dressed up or down depending on the fabric and specific dress style chosen. For girls, the tiered dress style tends to be a popular sundress style, as well as styles embellished with ruffles.

If your sundress will be for a toddler, this can be a great way to use any larger quilting pre-cuts like fat quarters you may have in your fabric stash. And if the sundress is a tiered design, you can have fun combining prints, sewing each tier of the dress from a different fabric.

A sundress can also be a great sewing project for someone new to sewing. Since it's a sleeveless style, there won't be any sleeves to set in. And since a sundress is designed to be loose, there will likely be little to no fitting to do.

And even though a sundress can be a great choice for warmer weather, a t-shirt can be worn underneath in cooler weather (or for a little more modesty if desired).

Great fabric choices for sundresses include any lightweight breathable fabrics, such as cottons. And if you want to be able to launder your finished dress, just remember to pre-wash you fabric (and any trims too) to prevent shrinking of your finished dress.
