DIY Midi Dresses
Hi there, Happy Friday 🌸🌸 Today's update is about two new dresses that I made to wear on special outings. The sleeveless orange midi dress was made in October and the long-sleeved dress was made at the beginning of this month. Both patterns were self-drafted, and the dresses had ruffles at the bottom tier. And to complete the look, I added a removable bow and pinned it to the neckline. For the sleeveless midi dress, I used a linen blend fabric a souvenir from my trip to Bangkok and the fabric was enjoyable to sew. As usual, the sewing process started with pinning and sewing the darts and then attached the facings to the front and back pieces right sides together. I pinned it around and then sewed it, but I left a few centimeters open to sew the shoulder lines. I love this method, the finished facing looks clean and neat. I closed the opening area with hand sewing. I gathered the bottom tiers and then sewed them to...
Love It Hana! :)

DeleteWhat a super shirt Hana - your husband looks great in it. Haven't made one for my DH yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! It's a little tricky to work on a men's shirt but I think is really fun to make.
DeleteHi Hana, great shirt! Can I ask what type of interfacing did you use for the collar? I struggle to find the right stiffness; either too stiff or not stiff enough...
ReplyDeleteHi Belinda! Thanks for your compliment. I used medium weight fusible interfacing for the collar and light weight for the plackets.
DeleteThe shirt looks very professional! Great job
