Velvet Ribbon

I made a new floral slip dress using a yard of leftover cotton fabric and a self-drafted pattern. The sewing process was fun,  I did this dress for six hours in total during my free time in three days, which is not bad 😊 The dress was finished with straps and adjusters, knee length, and finished the neckline with facings.

So, I lengthened the pattern down until my knee. And to make the shirtdress more stylish, I sewed a black slipdress to wear under it. In this case, I skip the buttons and let the dress open. I love the look and I will wear this set more often for sure.  I used Norma blouse Ottobre design pattern S/S 02/2018 size 38, lengthened the hem until my knee, omitted the buttons, shortened the sleeves and made a full arm adjustment.  And for the fabric, I used Indonesian batik in red, a gift from a friend for my birthday last year.  The process of making this dress was lovely and relaxing, I started it in March and then I stopped. Only in July I pick the pieces up again and started sewing them.  As shown below, I managed to capture the progress. Th...
