Trend 1: The Color Palette
On trend color combinations for this summer season include:
- Tan and white
- Red and pink
- Pastel shades like pinks and purples
Trend 2: Tie-Dye
Tie dye is a summertime classic that we've been seeing already this year all over our Instagram feed. You can buy tie-dye fabric, or dye your own with the help of our great tutorial!
Looking for some pattern designs that would really pop with tie-dye fabric check out these options:
Trend 3: Halter Style
The halter style bodice is another summer classic. To make it feel of-the-moment, try making a matching set with coordinated top and bottom fabrics, or make a dress out of that perfect summertime stripe or floral fabric.
Trend 4: Tie Front Details
Another trend we've been seeing that is easy to incorporate into any of your favorite dresses or jumpsuits is a tie front belt detail. This flatters the waist and makes the whole look feel finished.
Trend 5: Add A Ruffle
There are so many great ways to add a ruffle to an otherwise basic top or dress to create a really fun and feminine look.
Here are a few designs that highlight the ruffle element beautifully:

The smell of flowers, the sounds of birds, long legged fawns with their mother on the edge of our field, lazy mornings drinking coffee in my rocker on the porch.
My favorite part of summer is to take pictures of my AG dolls at the beach in lots of handmade cloths.
My favorite part of summer is being able to wear my cool, floaty summer dresses.
My favorite thing about summer is finally being able to open the windows. Letting fresh air into the house, listening to the birds and all their different tweets, smelling the flowers and freshly cut grass. Seeing everything turn green and colorful. And today I was able to see our newly hatched baby birds on our porch. Life is good🥰
My favorite part of summer is flowers and vegetables growing and being outside in the garden!
