DIY V-neck T-shirt Dress

Hi there, I hope you are well.

I had a leftover knit cotton fabric in a lovely printed pink and decided to make a simple summer dress with it. I was checking my summer wardrobe last month and it lacked t-shirt dresses and some summer tops. So, I started to sew this t-shirt dress and will continue following my plans.

For the pattern, I used my self-drafted t-shirt pattern and lengthened it above my knee. 

And here are the pattern pieces:

- Front (on fold) 1x

- Back (on fold) 1x

- Neckband 57 cm long x 5 cm wide.

The sewing process was easy and fast. I did it in three hours. 

It started with sewing the shoulder lines together and the dress sides together using my overlocker machine.

And then sewed the V-neckband piece and attached it to the neckline.

I sewed around the neckline with a sewing machine first and covered the raw edge using an overlocker machine. And top-stitched the neckline 0.25 cm using a sewing machine.

The last two steps were, sew the sleeve hem 1.5 cm and the hemline 2 cm. 

I love the final result, it looks shapeless when laid on the floor. 

And the dress on my dress form. It looks cute and comfy, perfect to wear in a hot and humid summer weather we are having lately.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoy reading my sewing update and see you next time.
