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.

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 😃
