Effortlessly crafted, the Lotta dress is a beginner's dream or a swift joy for experienced sewists. Its blousy bodice, flared skirt, and elasticated waist offer timeless appeal. Opt for knee or midi length, short or bracelet sleeves, and add pockets. Embrace woven or stretchy fabric versatility.

Recommended fabric
Light to medium weight drapey fabrics such as chambray, viscose (rayon), Tencel (lyocell), double gauze, brushed cotton or crêpe.
The short sleeve version can also be made in less drapey fabrics such as linen, cotton lawn, and seersucker.
