How to make a grecian dress
The grecian dress is a comfortable dress that fits loosely around the shoulders and is brought in at the waist with elastic or a belt. The dress is simply made of two pieces of fabric that form the front and the back. There are no additional sleeve pieces.
The dress can be made extremely short, so that it is almost a tunic, or fairly long for a more elegant look. It can be brought in either at the waist or under the bust by a thick band of elastic, with rows of 'rouching,' or with a belt. It can be made with multiple strips of fabric of various colours, textures and designs. It can have a deep scoop neck at the front or the back, a v-neck or a slash neck. It can be finished at the neck with facing, creating a neat professional edge, or with bias binding for an additional flash of colour.
