DIY Sleeveless Dress

I made a simple sleeveless dress last week using a printed rayon fabric that I repurchased a few months ago from the local shop. I love rayon, it drapes nicely and is perfect to wear in summer. For the pattern, I used a self-drafted sleeveless dress based on my basic dress slopers.

The design of the dress is so simple, with a round neckline with a little lower back, sleeveless, no darts and knee length. I also lowered the armhole by 2 cm and made the shoulder thinner by 2 cm to make the dress more comfy and airy.

Summer in my place is so hot and humid, and this comfy dress is perfect to wear.

After I cut all the pieces, I fused the facings with fusible interfacing.

The sewing process was started by pinning the front-facing and the front dress's right sides together, marked 8 cm in the upper armholes to leave the area without stitching.

Stitched the rest of the armholes and neckline and then, turned the facing to the inner dress.

I pinned and stitched the shoulder line after that (both sides).

And also sewed both sides of the dress.

I basted the opening armholes and facing.

And top-stitched the facing using my sewing machine.

And hand-sewed to close the opening armholes.

Also, I stitched the hemline using a blind hem method 2.5 cm and the dress was done. This dress was easy and fast to make, I did it in total 5 hours from start to finish.

And here are the pictures of the finished dress, front, side, back and inner dress that you can see the finished facing.
