Firstly, I omitted the stand collar and made a v-neck by folded the neckline to the outer side and hand sewed both lines. The dress has ruffles sleeve and hem, I decided to shorten the length of the ruffle hem until my knee.
But I wasn't happy with the look of the ruffle sleeves on me and as I don't have too much time to sew I just put this dress back inside my closet. And only in October I pick it out and removed the ruffle sleeves, sewed and wore it. Well, as you saw in the picture above, the dress looks much better without ruffle sleeves.
After I removed the ruffle sleeves, I worked on the neckline. I cut the round neckline and made it v-neck. And then, pinned and sewed the bias binding around. I was happy with the clean look of the v-neck and I think it looks much better on me.
I kept the belt and added bell-loops on both sides of the waistline.
The dress can be worn with or without a belt, but I prefer to wear it with a belt.
After all, I'm glad that I managed to re-style this dress and wore it. I was thinking to make the second version without ruffle hem and longer length.
That's it for today everyone, Happy Sewing 💗
such a beautiful dress. You're very talented. This shade of pink suits you really well.
