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 ...
Hana, this will be beautiful.. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy :)
DeleteOh this looks like a lovely plan Hana! I think you made a great decision to change the pockets...the original ones may have been too overwhelming for your slight frame. Can't wait to see the finished coat!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margo! This will be my first work on inseam pockets. Hope it will turn out well :)
DeleteI love your plan, and agree that the bound buttonholes will add to this design. Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary :)
DeleteThis will be so lovely - and I agree with Margo about the inseam pockets. Also, you will have a nice long line through the coat. Good luck with the buttonholes -do some practice ones first on some scraps.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah Liz. I will do some practice, for sure :)
DeleteI'm sure this is going to look lovely. I like your fabric choice the yellow will brighten up any day
