Hello friends,<\/p>\n

The time has come to talk about our new Enmore Halter Dress + Top<\/a>: the fabrics you might choose and all the ways you can wear it!<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you excited about this one? I wore it last August during the hottest part of our stifling Madrid summer and it was so comfortable! With heels out to dinner I felt quite glamorous.<\/p>\n

This pattern is so perfect for flowy fabrics and prints of all sorts. I showed you how I chevron seamed my bias-cut linen version<\/a>, which you could easily do with a pretty satin to achieve something similar to the striped version below, left. And the dots at the right are really classic and chic, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

This style would lend itself really well to a belt. You could also use my tutorial to add an elastic waist<\/a> if you like. Both of these photos are great inspiration for a dress that could go many, many places this summer and well into fall.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

But that’s one of the things I love about a style like this: it’s so versatile! Above left is a similar style meant to be worn as a nightgown. And on the right is a style I would happily wear to a wedding. It’s all about your fabric and styling choices, of course. Isn’t that fun?<\/p>\n

For fancy, try a beautiful drapey fabric, especially rayon or a drapey silk. I’ve been searching for large-scale abstract fabrics for a while now and haven’t had much luck. Any suggestions? I’ll keep hunting and tell you if I find anything.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I also love the idea of choosing a fabric with more body and adding a flounce at the hem. Or a jeweled neckline? Why not? Or go crazy and add jeweled or beaded straps, just for the fun of it. It’s such a simple style that lends itself well to ideas like this.<\/p>\n

It would be cute as a top with an added peplum, too, right? And don’t forget to layer this one! A little T-shirt underneath it will give you lots of additional options.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see more ideas in my Liesl + Co. Enmore Halter Dress + Top Pinterest folder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And you can pick up your own copy of this pattern in either paper<\/a> or in digital<\/a> format. As always, I can\u2019t wait to see what you do with this style! I hope you\u2019ll tag us on social media so we can see what you make with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
