That’s my 1920s pink floral printed chiffon dress.

Because I couldn’t find sheer floral fabric, I bought two chiffon dresses. I cut apart one of the dresses to make the scarf, the wrap shoulder cape and the belt. The other I shortened and changed the neckline.

The fabric is pretty, lightweight and soft-draping. The dress has lace attached to cover the seams, but it didn’t distract too much from the lines of the 1920s dress, so I didn’t remove it. This floral 1920s dress also has some lace details.

The dress can be worn …

… with the scarf tied round the shoulder like a cape, as here or here, …

… or with the shoulder wrap cape …

… and the scarf tied round the cloche hat.

This second bodice for the dress has a wrap effect in front and back.

It is gathered at the shoulders …

… and open at the sides.

And it’s gathered into a belt at the hips.

Here’s a 1920s dress with a similar wrap bodice, and another one.

This 1920s floral chiffon dress was my main inspiration. Here’s another 1920s pink floral chiffon dress.

The dress is perfect for summer! 🙂
