Simplicity 4972 Misses' Dress 

I love the back of this dress and how the back bodice can fold down or be tied up. The fabric choice for this dress is adorable in the eyelet, but with so many fabric choices the possibilities are endless.

Dress has a lowered round neckline, short kimono-style sleeves and Back zipper closing. Back neck edge may be closed with a thread loop and hook or left open forming revers. 

V.'s 1 and 2 have a full gathered skirt, and corded piping at waistline. 

V.3 skirt is slim and a purchased belt is worn. 

V.'s 1 and 3 are trimmed with heave lace and self-fabric bows. 

V. 2 bodice is of a sheer plain fabric, the skirt is embroidered flouncing.
