Hello, I finished my floral dress yesterday and so glad it turned out as planned. This dress is my entry to #magamsewalong "Juggling June" and #sewyourwardrobebasics "Prints" challenges on Instagram.
For the pattern, I used my basic dress sloper and modified the neckline into a v-neck, changed the dart placement and reduced the shoulder length and armhole.
Fabrics were floral cotton voile, remnant 125 cm that I bought during my trip to Portugal last summer and for the lining, I used white cotton I bought locally.
I was happy to juggle all things, from the limited fabric to modifying the pattern. I changed the dart placements two times and made a muslin.

I fully lined the dress, sewed the darts, sewed the lining and fashion fabric together except the hemline sewed separately.
That's it for today, thank you for hosting the challenges ladies, I look forward to sewing July's garments.

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.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessa ❤

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
