To make a dress in this way, I took my original dress pattern and retraced it so that I could draw on the new lines and know where I needed seam allowance.
I decided on a sweeping panel on the side covering the dart, a v neckline and a racer back.
After working out the pattern pieces it was just a matter of cutting it all out in the fabric and sewing it together!
Im really pleased with the results and the combined colours of the fabrics, all that's left to do is make a facing and add a zip!
Ive started on a new garment, im hoping to make this shirt into a long loose shirt dress that will either be bleached or dip dyed to soften the colour and make it a more interesting garment. So far I have just looked at how it fits and where the seam would be for the bottom half of the skirt.
Heres a sneak peak at tomorrows garment!
