Swiss Dot Summer

My creation:
60s inspired summer dress in floral Swiss Dot fabric
Swiss Dot  is a lightweight cotton fabric mostly used for women's clothes. It is a great choice for breezy summer dresses especially while the weather is still hot! Summer is not officially over until September 22nd!

Quick Facts:
  • Also known as Dotted Swiss
  • First made in Switzerland in 1750.
  • It can be dated by it's dots! (ie. size, arrangement, & application)
  • Used also in bedspreads, curtains, wedding apparel, and baby clothes




 Dress: Made by Me
 Handbag: a Gift
Shoes: Payless
Sunglasses: Giant Vintage
Earrings: My grandmother's
