Smultron is a fun, voluminous dress that’s easy to adapt to different lengths and works with an impressive variety of fabrics.

View A is a short (above the knee), half circle, bias cut dress with a V-neck yoke, spaghetti straps, and an elastic back. View B is a short (above the knee), half circle, bias cut dress with a slightly curved neckline, spaghetti straps, and back ties.

You can of course mix it up and put the back ties on View A, or the elastic back on View B. The instructions also show you how to lengthen and shorten the dress and add optional tiers.

Skill level: Intermediate.
