Hi there, today's post is about a new dress I sewed last month. It's a midi-style dress with puff sleeves and a front tie. I made this dress to wear to a special dinner. For the pattern: I lengthened my selfdrafted v-neck dress into midi length. And for the fabric, I used a linen blend in green color. I bought the fabric in Bangkok during my summer holiday in August. The dress pattern had 6 pieces, front and back darts and I fused the facings with fusible interfacing. As usual, the sewing process was relaxing and it finished faster than I planned. The picture below shows the process of sewing the zipper, I pinned it before sewing it using the zipper foot. To make the puff sleeves, I gathered the sleeves before pinning and sewing them to the armhole.  After attaching the sleeves, I sewed the sleeve allowance 1 cm and the hem allowance 1.5 cm. And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided

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 😃
