Recreated Ferragamo Dress | DIY Denim Dress With Godets.

Hi there, happy weekend 🌺🌺

I recreated Ferragamo dress for my late entry to Sew Recreate The Look challenge on Instagram and I'm happy with the final dress.

Recreating it was a challenge, but I'm glad I managed to make it.

For the pattern, I used my self-drafted slip dress with princess seams. And then I added godets to match the satin inlay style on the original Ferragamo dress.

For the fabric, I used denim in dark grey from my stash and cotton poplin leftover for the godets.

The sewing process started with cutting the fabric, the straps, and the godets in triangles.

I overlocked the raw edges of the godets and sewed the hem allowance 1 cm.

And then I sewed the front and back pieces together. Remember to unstitch 36 cm to insert the godets later.

After that, I sewed the front facing and inserted the straps between the facing and the front dress.

Also sewed the facing on the back dress, and left 2 cm open to insert the straps later.

I pinned and sewed the godets carefully.

And then, hand sewed the upper godet for a neat and clean look.

I inserted the straps at the back dress.

And pinned and top stitched the facing to the dress.

The last part was pinned and sewed the hemline. Done! 😍

I posted a video on my YouTube channel for the details on making this dress. Feel free to pop over 🥰

I love the fit. It's just right, not too tight or too loose 😍
