Happy New Year everyone!
Here are the pictures of the Belle dress I made for my friend Emma. You can see the progress post here.
Emma had bought the original dress online- it was too short, so she asked me to extend the skirt to a puffy layered one like Belle's. I also widened the shoulder straps. I find that adding extra cloth to a skirt is a really simple way to DIY a dress into something a little more dressy. You could for instance, use this technique to transform a short body-con party dress into a floor-length fishtail gown.

ReplyDeletealso, just wondering, where did you learn how to sew?
ReplyDeleteThanks Vivian :) I learnt a bit from my mum and home economics in high school. These days I try to read pattern-making books and look at tutorials online. It's still a bit hit-and-miss though :) Ohh by the way I had a look at your blog- I love your crocheted top! Have you been making clothes for long?
