DIY Kimono Dress Tutorial
Say “Kon'nichiwa” to this DIY Kimono Dress Tutorial. You’ll love how comfortable this DIY dress is for walking around in the summer time.

The waist tie will make this dress flattering for any figure because you can cinch it at your natural waistline.

Love the simplicity of this dress. The kimono style should be easy to sew and very comfortable to wear. The instructions are informal with no real pattern to download however the images give clear guided information on how to make the pattern and how to sew the few pieces together. I would make this in a pretty print flowy type of fabric.
