I made a dress
I wanted to make a dress and show some pattern cutting skills.
I made my pattern from scratch used a basic dress block, then i added a button stand. and a collar
And made the hem shorter.
The fabric was sourced in Shepherds bush.and is a satin
I used 1.half meters.
And it cost £3 a meter and i got 2 so £6 all together.
I couldn't find the right size buttons in time so i had to insert a zipper instead.
As a garment i was please with it. I liked The shape and when i had to present it, it wouldn't fit on the mannequin, so i had to wear it.
It came out really good except for the white thread showing.
I was abit disappointing that when i had to present it
the thread started showing.
the fabric was nice to sew had no problems at all. It frayed abit but not too much ..
Pressing it was ok it made the dress have a nice finish and more presentable.
I put the zip at the front seam and cut the back on fold.
And maybe put it on the side.
The collar was a nice detail to the dress.
I think i would make this dress again but in a different fabric.
I done a 3cm hem
Next time i would make the button stand bigger to fit different size buttons.
