Feminism and the fluid body–a feminist friendly dress tutorial

In January 2008 I created an instructables tutorial for a skirt that respected the changeability of women’s bodies. Now that a year has passed and my waist is once again in rappid expansion mode I thought it might be timely to expand my feminine/feminist friendly wardrobe with a new dress design.

This is a simple wrap and tie dress made from two rectangles of fabric. It is compatible with, and flattering to, most body shapes including pregnant bodies. I have shared full instructions for the dress over on the instructables website.
