DIY Sleeveless Shirt Dress

Hi there, I finished my sleeveless shirt dress, and I'm happy with the final result.

The dress is comfy and perfect for summer. I will definitely wear it a lot. 

This summer, I'm focusing on building my capsule wardrobe, and I'm glad I managed to create three garments (a skirt, top, and sleeveless dress). 

I will continue sewing more garments to complete my plan.

My progress will be slow, but I'm sure I will complete it before the end of the summer 😊

For the pattern, I used Faitmain shirt dress May 2019 size 38 and I used this pattern before to make two long-sleeved shirts. And this time, I omitted the sleeves and reduced the shoulder length by 2 cm.

I used cotton fabric in blue and white gingham and I planned to add a pocket, but in the end, I gave up because it didn't look good.

The sewing progress was slow as I have a lot of things to do. The only difficult part was sewing the collar. 

And in case you are interested in seeing more details of how I sew the collar step by step, feel free to watch my video.  Link here 

After the collar was done, I stitched the buttonholes using the automatic buttonhole foot.

I pinned both sides before I cut the hole to avoid overcutting and a mess.

The armhole is finished with a bias tape band. 

And here are the pictures of the finished dress.
