DIY V-neck Tiered Dress

Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts. 
I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses. 
This dress was fun and relaxing to sew because I made one before in a midi length, so this time I shortened the length until my knee and sewed it easily.

For the fabric, I used a printed rayon from my stash and white cotton lining leftover from my previous make.
For the pattern, I used my self-drafted pattern.

At first, I didn't want to add the lining but I had to because the fabric was a bit transparent, the lining fabric wasn't enough and I connected the pieces to make the back skirt.

Here is the look of the fabric after cutting and the skirt was pieces of a rectangle: the first tiers - front and back, the last tier on the fold ( I forgot to take the picture).


I gathered the skirt pieces and lined them on the floor before sewing, the first tiers (front and back skirt) and the last tier.

I attached the first tier to the bodice and also the lining too. Pinned and sewed it.


I sewed the last tier, the invisible zipper, and hemmed the dress.
Sewing the lining to the bodices and skirts wasn't easy, I did a lot of basting before sewing and I'm glad I managed to finish it nicely. 
And here is the finished dress, I love it and it's so flowy, perfect for summer.

I have a new YouTube channel to explain more detail about this dress and in case you are interested to watch, here is the video








That's it for today, see you again soon 💗 Take care and happy sewing 💗✂
