Made my own dress

[wifeywifey]

I know it's not perfect and slightly see through (I used a duvet cover to practice lol) but I'm proud of the results.

Well done!

I'm going to try to make a dress soon, going to buy fabric this week

I'm going to make a miniature one first though to make sure I get all the seams etc in the right place

It took me four hours to do so didn't even take that long, I'd buy a duvet cover from charity shop to practice it would have cost me £15 for material so paid £3 for a duvet cover instead lol. I will buy some when I am more confident.

Well done!!! xx

Well done! Charity shops and car boots are great for picking up old covers, i use them for my dogs bed lol x

I went to our charity shops for fabric and they are too bloody expensive

eBay is uneconomical since postage went through the roof.

So Im going to an actual fabric shop this week

I got some cheap fabric today to try making a dress ... 2.99 a metre and its nice enough that I could wear it. Also got a beautiful remnant that will make a lovely tunic top x

Car boot sales are great for that, especially picking up curtains that can make dresses and allsorts. Especially if you go at desparation hour (12 noon) when everybody just wants to pack up and go home.

Thats a lovely dress btw

Gorgeous dress.

Oh wow, how beautiful! That is am absolutely lovely dress! I want to make dresses (mostly because I am big busted for my size and nothing store bought seems to fit well) but I am having trouble learning the necessary skills. My grandmother sews, but she lives in Arkansas, usa, and I live in Wisconsin, USA so it's often hard for her to help me. I have a dress going right now, but it is sadly beyond my skill level and I am struggling.

How did you learn how to do that? I'm so impressed!
