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.

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.

Beautiful projects Hana! The red cowl top is a great color on you and you know I love a pretty dress...and yours is a pretty one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet comment, Margo! My jersey cowl top is in strong pink color, but it look red in the picture:)
DeleteI love your version of the dress - I have plans to make the top and extend to dress for my DD.
ReplyDeleteThank you, jacquianne! I am looking forward to see your top and dress for your DD.
DeleteAll such pretty little garments again- I like them all, all quite different moods. The dress length for the burda tie top looks lovely - the belt is a good idea or it would be a big tent. I am glad your little boy is better.

ReplyDeleteHi Hana, as usual they're all lovely. The burda top looks like a wardrobe staple for the tropics (I need to download it). And I agree, the pink (looks red in the pics), top is a great colour for you.
