Handmade Dress #2

 

Here is the second dress that I recently finished. It is from the same pattern I used in the first dress I made. The only difference is that I added a Peter Pan collar using this tutorial. I also went down a size smaller and omitted the pockets.

The good part is that I didn't have to buy anything as all materials came from my stash.

I also added a "handmade" label just for fun.

More dresses coming up soon.

Until next time...

I made a dress

I can't believe it's been more than a couple of months since my last blog entry.  Sorry for the lack of posts as I have been consumed with work related things lately. 

Anyway, I'm back and I wanted to share with you the dress I recently made from a pattern I bought on Etsy. The pattern consists of a front, back, sleeves, and pockets. The sleeves were a bit tricky to fit into the armhole and it was hard to make it pucker-free. Someone suggested not to sew the sides of the dress until the sleeves are fitted so I will try that next time. 

It's a simple dress with no buttons or zippers. Actually, it's a bit more of a tunic than a dress that you can wear with leggings or pants. I am so thrilled with how it turned out and I am inspired to make more of my own dresses. 

I am already on to my second dress so stay tuned for that. 

Have a great Wednesday!

Until next time.
