While searching  for a cute shift dress I came across this really cute Scarf  dress, "Wild Lynx: DIY scarf kaftan dress" on the blog  "Park and Cube". I was so happy to learn it was a  D.I.Y dress, I couldn't wait to  recreate the  look for myself. I was also surprised  how easy it was to make. I see myself making a lot more of the this kaftan dress for lounging around the house or at the  pool.

Note: For more information on how to make this dress and  the original post please click  "Wild Lynx: DIY scarf kaftan dress". She has step by step instruction on how to make your own scarf dress. Good Luck!

I couldn't find a simple  scarves like the ones in the original post, I end up  using  72 inch Calvin Klein scarf (similar scarf)  that I cut in half to make two pieces of material that I needed for the project.

on my dress I used a sewing machine to saw my edges together;  I didn't have time to hand stitch like the original post suggested. ( so if you don't have a sewing machine don't fear you can still do this D.I.Y).

Final Results 

The dress  made a great swimsuit cover up. I also used my favorite skinny white belt  to give the dress some shape.
