Materials used:
Flowered crepe
Matching thread
Bias tape
Chalk
Scissors
Tape rule
CUTTING METHOD
- The flowered crepe fabric is folded into four, and the shoulder is marked together with the sleeve and cut out.
- The burst was marked, since it’s a free gown and not a fitted one, more seam allowances were put in to make the dress free and accommodate the dress owner without zip
- Both side slits were measured from the knee down to the edge of the dress to create a free walk anytime.
- The fabric for the scarf was cut likewise
SEWING METHOD
The front piece and the back piece are joined together from the shoulder to the sleeve since it’s cut together.
After joining the shoulder, Bias is used to turn in the neck in the absence of lining.
The side of the dress was joined from the armhole to where the slit would start.
Both sides slit were stitched, and the down part was hemmed as well.
The fabric for the scarf was stocked all around, and lastly, a belt was sewn to it.
After the sewing, I took the dress to the ironing board and gave it a good press. The belt and the scarf were ironed as well.
The dress was sewn during the weekend to be worn as a casual dress.
Hey seat fellow designer, I think you should try make your blog lively telling us the story behind the dress and also share a little more picture of the making process. The shift dress looks very comfy and lovely, and the colour of the fabric is radiant as well. Keep up the good work needleworker🤗
I used to do that, I lost the images I took for the sowing process.
Maxi dresses like these are lovely and I like the color of this one. Looks perfect for a dinner outing.
Well done dear.
