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. For the sleeveless midi dress, I used a linen blend fabric a souvenir from my trip to Bangkok and the fabric was enjoyable to sew. 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. I closed the opening area with hand sewing. I gathered the bottom tiers and then sewed them to...
This is a perfect example of allowing the fabric to shine! The design of the dress lends beautifully to the fabric you chose. I think you pulled off "prints" very well.

And again you've made a beautiful dress. I love the flower print and the V-neck looks great on you.
I hope you like the July theme as much and you'll join me again.

Hi, Hana,
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty floral print, and the design of the dress allows us to see all of the flowers. Very pretty. You always make your sewing projects look so easy. :-)
@ Sea Of Teal, thank you so much Stefanie. I love the July theme and I'm planning to make shorts and skirt. I'll be using the fabrics from stash :) xx
