Hello wonderful hivers and my fellow needle workers, hope you are all doing great today, it's #needlework Monday today, and I will be sharing with us how I made this simple and pretty girl dress.
I've had this white fabric with me fora long while, and didn't know what I could make with it, it has aa soft paper/nylon feel, and also very light, let's just say it's not a very durable kind of material.
I opted to make a very simple style that requires less manipulation with the fabric. It came out beautiful, even more than what I expected and the pretty girl fell in love with the dress immediately she set eye on it, that very moment was all the satisfaction I needed after making the dress.
So let's dive into the process then.
Materials/tools used
- white fabric(I don't know it's exact name)
- white lining
- hard net
- zipper
- white thread
- scissors
- sewing machine
Starting
- I cut out all my patterns, using a normal basic body block pattern for both front and back also, I replicated the pattern with my lining fabric
- I also cut out a long strip which I will be using as a belt to hold the waist part firm
- I joined all the upper bodice together, turning it with the lining fabric
- I also cut out the down part of the of there dress, multiplying her waist measurement by three, since I will be pleating it to her exact waist measurement
- next, I cut the inner lining for the down part of the dress in flare form
- I pleated the hard net on the lining, this is to give the gown a fuller effect.
- now, it's time to start pleating the down cut out fabric to the upper bodice, I used a kiss pleat
- when I was done pleating, I turned the dress with the flare lining to give it a neater finishing
finally, I sewed and closed the dress up also attached a zipper at the back.
To enhance the dress a bit, I made a bow, you can find the process here and attached it to the dress.
The dress is ready for fitting,
And that's my little model rocking it beautifully.
