Simple And Classy Dress With Removable Bow

Hi there. Today's post is about a simple and classy dress with a removable bow. I made this dress last week for the annual dinner at my husband's work.  I remembered I had two yards of cotton blend fabric with elastane in my stash, so I didn't need to buy new fabric.  For the design, I chose a simple dress with a little bit of something like a bow or a flower. And in the end, I chose a silk bow. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted dress with long sleeves. At first, I was making a midi length but cut it below my knee. The sewing process was fast because of the simple design, I did it in two days.  The process started in a usual manner, I sewed the darts, sewed the invisible zipper, sewed the front and back dress together, attached the sleeves, etc. I tried on the dress and found out the neckline was a bit gaping and the dress was too loose and too long. So, I reduced the shoulder line by 1 cm on both sides before attaching the facing.

Pimp My Skirt Draft and Sew Along

The Burberry Skirt
I was very busy lately, almost didn't have enough time to sew or to take picture of my latest dress but I always around to check what's my fabulous blogger up to. I am planning to make a coat but still cutting the muslin, I think it will be a very slow project.

On the way of making my first coat I am also join sew along with Marina von Koenig from Frabjous Couture. The Original inspiration is the Burberry skirt as shown on the picture below. Here is  the details of the sew along and to be honest I am really excited and can not wait to start drawing the pattern, making the muslin, sewing the skirt and wearing it:))
