I wanted to participate in #mymademay or #sewthatpattern during the month of May. I thought I should be able to create several outfits, and I quickly realized that I underestimated my schedule or how busy I will get just before the end of the school year. I finally found the time to sew one dress for this month!
I used Burda Style 6414 pattern and modified it a little. The original pattern had two options for the shoulders: one with drawstrings to adjust how much of the shoulders are covered, the other one is simply a no sleeve option. I decided to go with the drawstring design, but instead of following the pattern, I added thin elastic to loosely gather up the openings. For the skirt, the original design was a straight skirt with a slit on the side, but I slightly extended the sides diagonally to have a flare skirt.
The dress is made out of a soft and stretchy knit with elastic waist, this dress is so comfortable to wear. I especially love wearing it during the summer. It is perfect to lounge around the house or for going out. I have a feeling that I am going to use this pattern again. :)
Beautifully done! Looks super comfy
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is very comfortable dress.
DeleteI love this fabric! Do you buy your fabric in person or online? I'm a new sewer and struggling with knowing where to go to get nice fabrics for clothes.
ReplyDeleteI found the fabric for this dress at Joann's!
DeleteI do shop at my local stores and sometimes online. I would love to buy all my fabrics in person, so I can see the colors, touch and feel the material. Unfortunately, there aren't many fabric stores(for clothes making) around here.
