Hello, today's update is about my puff-sleeved dress, which I specially made to wear at my husband's birthday dinner last month. The design is a simple round neck dress, knee length and puff sleeves. For the fabric, I used a silk-cotton blend and the fabric was a souvenir from our trip during Easter in Bangkok. I love the prints, so pretty. I used my self-drafted pattern and I was planning to fully line the dress but I gave up because I thought the fabric wasn't transparent and I didn't need to worry about the lining. The sewing process was enjoyable, I sewed the invisible zipper at the center back after sewing the darts. And then, sewed both front and back pieces at the shoulder line.

DIY Square Neck Dress

By -


Hi there, happy weekend 🌸🌸
I made a square neck dress to wear during my holiday last month and was happy with the result. The dress was easy to sew, and the fit was perfect for hot summer weather. The design was a simple short-sleeved dress with the addition of sweet a square neck.
For the fabric, I used printed cotton that I bought in Bangkok in the last Easter holiday.
And for the pattern, used my self-drafted. I made two dresses before using this pattern. The first dress was made in June last year using linen blend fabric, link here. The second dress was made in July last year using printed cotton fabric, link here

.

This time, I made the back neck in a round style and also reduced 1 cm to the square neck because the previous dresses were a bit bigger and made the square neck gaping.

I worked on the neckline after I stitched the darts, and zipper and connected the pieces together.
As usual, I fused the fusible interfacing on the facings before sewing them together.

I pinned the facing to the neckline, stitched it and clipped the corners using the scissors.

The square neck was neat and I secured the facing with hand-sewing. 


And then, I did the rest of the sewing according to the usual manner, and my dress was done. 
I loved the result.







I wore the dress to dinner, it was my son's birthday, and I also wore it the next day exploring Benchakitti Park, Bangkok. And I was really blended with the green 😃
