Midi Dress With Puff Sleeves And Front Tie
Hi there, today's post is about a new dress I sewed last month. It's a midi-style dress with puff sleeves and a front tie. I made this dress to wear to a special dinner. For the pattern: I lengthened my selfdrafted v-neck dress into midi length. And for the fabric, I used a linen blend in green color. I bought the fabric in Bangkok during my summer holiday in August. The dress pattern had 6 pieces, front and back darts and I fused the facings with fusible interfacing. As usual, the sewing process was relaxing and it finished faster than I planned. The picture below shows the process of sewing the zipper, I pinned it before sewing it using the zipper foot. To make the puff sleeves, I gathered the sleeves before pinning and sewing them to the armhole. After attaching the sleeves, I sewed the sleeve allowance 1 cm and the hem allowance 1.5 cm. And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided
Hello dear Hana!

Thank you, dear. Have a nice weekend to you too :)
DeleteThey both look beautiful, Hana. I like the decoration that you added to the pink one. They both suit you so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a lovely comment :)
DeleteWhat beautiful fabrics! I love what you have done with the pink overlay and I do like the high-low hem also. No doubt you will get a lot of wear out of such practical, yet pretty tops.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dawn, you are always so sweet :)
DeleteI do like both of your tops, Hana. They are just the sort of thing I should be sewing for our coming cold weather. They are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, thank you :) Great idea of sewing this easy top for coming winter. Trust me, they are really easy :)
DeleteI like both sweaters, too! :) They do look comfy but also very cute! :) Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Katharina :) Love your latest bag too :)
DeleteBoth of these sweaters fit you so well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dot :)
DeleteSo pretty Hana. Both look lovely - just right for transitional wear in the changing seasons. Some months are like that - not much good for getting much sewing done. Two simple tops was a good effort :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah Liz :)
DeleteI like both of them too, but especially drawn to the pink one. You look so pretty in pink. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa :)
DeleteI really like the pink one too, like Lisa, I think you look lovely in pink :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn :) Pink is my favourite colour.
DeleteOH the pink one is too cute Hana! That being said, the blue one has that cozy-up at home feeling...just what an oversize sweater should have.
ReplyDeleteI remember your first one, and I'm liking this pattern with the your own hi-lo hem more and more!
Thank you, Sue :):)
