(Another) DIY dress


This is another dress I made recently - it's a lot simpler in style than the one I posted yesterday, but it actually took me longer to finish. The fabric turned out to have a bit of stretch in it, so I had to make some adjustments for the stitches to look good. It has a zipper in the back, a bodice with bust darts (yes, necessary or your puppies will be squashed) a gathered waist and.. well, that's pretty much it! Good everyday kind of dress, I figured. I made a belt to go with it but realized I prefer wearing it without. I will be teaming this one up with some cute socks and brogues as soon as it gets warmer. I know I should be getting my iron out more often (it looks like I've slept in the dress which I actually haven't) but I absolutely hate ironing. It is the.most.boring.part of sewing. 

My next project will be refashioning one of Andrea's old shirts. I haven't quite made up my mind about what  exactly I want to make out of it, but I'm thinking skirt or dress (surprise). To be continued...

Have a lovely Friday, wherever you are!
