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...
Hana, such beautiful fabrics.. great ideas.. Look forward to seeing all these lovely garments. Happy sewing.

DeleteYou must have quite a library of Burda Style dress - going back some years :). It's good to have sewing plans, I think - that way, there is always something to look forward to making, and also things in mind to make, no being lost wondering what to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a little library of Burdastyle, I normally buy them when I am travelling or friend/family give it to me :)
